Notes

Strawberry Blueberry Cake Tips

  • Make sure to cut the strawberries in small pieces to avoid having soggy berry lumps in the cake.
  • You can swap in other fresh berries like raspberries and blackberries.
  • If you prefer, feel free to use buttercream icing instead of whipped cream.
  • You can bake this fresh fruit cake ahead of time and store, but don't add the whipped cream until you're ready to serve.
