Step-by-Step Directions to Make Triple Delight Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8 or 9-inch cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gradually add the flour and milk, alternating between the two, and mix until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 2: Divide and Flavor the Batter
Divide the batter evenly into three bowls.
In one bowl, add cocoa powder to create the chocolate layer. Stir until fully combined.
In another bowl, gently fold in the fresh berries. This will add a subtle fruity flavor and a pop of color to the cake.
Leave the third bowl as-is for a classic vanilla layer.
Step 3: Bake the Layers
Pour each batter into its own prepared cake pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Make the Frosting
In a clean mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream frosting is light, fluffy, and perfectly complements the multi-layered cake.
Step 5: Assemble the Cake
Place the chocolate layer on your serving plate or cake stand. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream frosting on top.
Stack the vanilla layer on top of the chocolate layer and spread another layer of whipped cream.
Finally, add the fruit layer, using berry jam between the layers if desired for extra flavor.
Step 6: Frost and Decorate
Frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream frosting. For added decoration, top the cake with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
