Ingredients

  • 1 box (16 ounces) pound cake mix, (plus ingredients required by package instructions)
  • 1.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh blueberry
  • 1 cup fresh raspberry

Instructions

  1. Bake the pound cake mix (1 box (16 ounces)) in a loaf pan according to the package instructions.
  2. Allow the pound cake to cool completely, about .
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the whipped cream: In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream (1 1/2 cups), powdered sugar (1/4 cup), and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon). Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about .
  4. Once cooled, slice the pound cake horizontally into three even layers.
  5. Cover the top of the first layer with a portion of the whipped cream. Pack fresh blueberries (from 1 cup total) and fresh raspberries (from 1 cup total) on top, alternating them so each slice gets both fruits.
  6. Stack the second layer on top, cover with whipped cream, and pack more blueberries and raspberries.
  7. Stack the third layer on top, cover the top of the layer with the remaining whipped cream, and decorate with the remaining blueberries and raspberries. Serve as a cake.
