  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temp
  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk for buttercream
  • 1 tsp vanilla for buttercream
  • 2 cups mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line four 4-inch cake pans or use a muffin tin for minis.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  3. Beat 1/2 cup butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Alternate adding dry mix and milk until smooth.
  4. Divide batter into pans. Bake 15–18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  5. Beat 1 cup butter for buttercream, add powdered sugar gradually, then 2 tbsp milk and 1 tsp vanilla until spreadable.
  6. Slice cakes in half horizontally. Spread a thin layer of buttercream, add berries, and stack. Frost very lightly so sides show.
  7. Top with a few whole berries. Chill 20 minutes before serving.
