Triple Berry Cake W/Yellow & Strawberry Cake

"I made this for my husband's birthday and didn't have all the right ingredients and kind of winged it. Turned out fabulous and was a big hit for everyone! And I won't lie, I put it in tupperware and ate it straight out of the containers for days afterwords! There's fruit in it, so it's still healthy, right? :)"

  • Pour over berries and stir carefully to glaze berries.
  • Place 1 layer of cake on a platter; spread with whipped cream and spoon 1/3 cup berries on it.
  • Repeat with 2nd and 3rd layers.
  • Spoon remaining berries in center of top layer. Decorate edge with whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Melt remaining preserves and spoon over top of cake after slightly cooling, letting drip down the side.
  • Refrigerate one hour more.

  1. Surprised myself that I was able to get all fresh berries for this cake, although I will admit that the strawberries weren't the most flavorful! Still, this turned out to be one very, very nice tasting cake, & one that I look forward to making again later in the year! Many thanks!
