Description
A delightful Triple Berry Shortcake that combines the sweetness of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with a fluffy, buttery shortcake base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, plus extra for whipping
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the heavy cream, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread whipped cream, and add half of the berries. Top with the second cake layer.
- Spread more whipped cream on top and decorate with remaining berries, dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- For longer storage, freeze the baked shortcake for up to three months.
- Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor.
