Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

  • 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup strawberries (sliced)

Instructions

  3. In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  8. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  9. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.
  10. Once the cake is cool, spread the whipped frosting evenly over the top.
  11. Arrange the blueberries in the top left corner to create a rectangle.
  12. Use the sliced strawberries and raspberries to create stripes across the cake.
  13. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
