FRESH BERRY VANILLA LAYERED CAKE

Love your cake! I too am a fan of naked cakes. This cake reminds me of childhood. My grandma made my birthday cake every year and each ear I requested the same cake – white cake, with layers of strawberries and whipped cream. But it had to be homemade whipped cream. It’s a classically simple and so delicious cake. Love the addition of blueberries too! I didn’t like blueberries as a kid (so weird!) but I’d definitely add them now.
