Chantilly Crème Cake with Fresh Berries

The Chantilly Crème Cake originated in New Orleans, I believe. Light and rich at the same time, the fresh berries make this a very special Southern cake. It was one of the cakes I served at my wedding.

Line 9X13 deep dish disposable aluminum pan with tin foil allowing extra to serve as handles. Transfer cake, bottom up to aluminum pan.

Whip cream until fairly stiff.

Using an electric mixer, beat together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth about 3 minutes.

Fold whipping cream into cream cheese mixture and beat just until mixed together.

* Step 8

Clean all the berries and pat dry. Slice strawberries.

* Step 9

Mix together half of the strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and sugar.

* Step 10

Whisk 2/3 cup strawberry jam until smooth. Spread jam on cake layer.

* Step 11

Arrange berries in single layer on jam.

* Step 12

Spread frosting on top of berries.

* Step 13

When ready to serve remove cake from pan. Slice lengthwise into 3 strips. Cut strips into 8 pieces. Plate cake. Garnish the top of each slice of cake with more sliced and/or whole berries and fresh mint.
