A versatile cake filling you can use over and over.
Not too long ago, I had to make a cake for a birthday party and wanted to do something a little different. Fortunately, I was watching the Great British Baking Show at the time and saw an episode where Mary Berry made a cake with a mixed berry filling.
Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.
Needless to say, I tried to memorize what she did but unfortunately, I did not get her exact recipe. That being said, I did get enough details from her that I was able to come up with this delicious berry filling for a layered cake.
This Mixed Berry filling goes perfectly with my Perfect White Cake. And if you are in need of a great frosting for your cake, make sure you check out my Boiled Icing recipe.
