Steps:
- Let's make the Berry Cake batter first. Combine all dry ingredients, that is flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa powder, and sift into a large bowl. Set it aside until ready for use.
- Next, preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). Beat together eggs and sugar for 10 minutes on high speed or until the mixture is thick and fluffy. Then reduce speed to low and stir in vanilla extract. You can also add vanilla right before mixing in the flour.
- Now add the flour mixture in three additions. Using a hand whisker gently fold from the bottom up just until combined.
- Next, add beet juice red dye in 3 additions, and using a silicone spatula fold gently into the batter. Try to make sure to not deflate the air bubbles as much as possible.
- Finally, divide and pour the batter evenly into 3 - 8" round cake pans greased with butter or cooking spray. In case you're using baking pans without removable sides you will need to line them with parchment paper on the bottom of the pan only).
- Bake all 3 pans at the same time for 15 minutes at 350 F (180 C). Remove from the oven, and cool for 5 minutes before removing cake sponges from the cake pans. Cool sponges completely before frosting.
- Now let's make the cake frosting! Add softened cream cheese and sugar to a bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Beat them together for a couple of minutes on high speed until sugar dissolves.
- Next, reduce the mixing speed then add vanilla and Greek yogurt. Mix well again. Scrape the sides of the mixer bowl to remove cream cheese lumps.
- Finally, add all cold liquid heavy cream then start beating on low speed and gradually increase the mixing speed as the cream becomes thicker up to a medium high speed.
- Once more, scrape the sides of the mixer bowl to make sure all the ingredients get incorporated and beat again for 30 seconds or so.
- Make sure to not overwhip the cream. It should be thick so it can be piped easily but if you keep beating it too much, heavy cream can start turning into butter which will ruin the consistency of your frosting.
- Now let's put it all together! Rinse and paper dry berries. Place a cake sponge onto a cake platter of your choice.
- Next, pipe cream out on top of the sponge starting on the edge of the cake and working your way towards the middle. Push berries inside the cream. You may use as many berries as you like.
- If you don't want to pipe the cream, you can also layer it using an offset spatula, but I personally love how elegant piped cream looks.
- Now place another sponge cake on top of cream and berries and repeat the same steps. The top layer needs to be a little more presentable. Layout berries nicely on top of the cream instead of pushing them in. Place half-cut strawberries with stems for a beautiful touch of green.
- Your beautiful Berry Cake is ready to be served!
CLASSIC RED VELVET CAKE
The "red" makes sense, but what about the "velvet" in Red Velvet Cake's iconic name? Food historians say it was a common description during the Victorian era when the term described cakes that had an especially soft and "velvety" crumb. From the color to the crumb, this homemade Red Velvet Cake is a dessert classic. If you prefer cupcakes over cakes, our Classic Red Velvet Cake recipe works perfectly for that - check out our "Expert Tips" section for guidance.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9-inch cake pans and sprinkle with flour if pans don't have a smooth bottom.
- Whisk 3 cups flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
- Beat 1/2 cup butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth. Add 1 1/2 cups sugar and beat until fairly creamy, about 2 minutes. Pour in vegetable oil and beat until combined, about 30 seconds more.
- Beat in egg yolks, vanilla extract, vinegar, and enough food coloring to reach desired color. Pour in flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk, on low speed until just incorporated, making sure to not overmix the batter.
- Beat egg whites until thick and frothy in a separate bowl; fold into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Be careful not to overbake. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 to 20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving plate to cool completely.

RED VELVET CAKE RECIPE
This is our go-to recipe for red velvet cake that has a great chocolate-ty flavor. For the red color, we used Americolor #119 Red Red Gel (yes, that's 2 red's in a row. Not a typo). We've also tested this recipe for cupcakes and it comes out great every time! Also, if you love cream cheese frosting, you can always make extra frosting!Makes one 9-inch cake

RED VELVET STRAWBERRY CAKE
Adding strawberries to a red velvet cake is a fun twist on the classic chocolate-and-strawberry combo. While there's not as much cocoa powder in a red velvet cake as there is a traditional chocolate cake, a little bit goes a long way when the cocoa is bloomed in hot coffee to boost its flavor. Whole strawberries hidden inside the cream cheese filling make a dramatic reveal when the cake is sliced open.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cut two 22-by-3 1/2-inch strips of parchment paper. Spray a 7-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom with parchment and fit one of the strips of parchment around the inside of the pan, so that the parchment sticks up above the edge. Spray again with nonstick spray.
- Whisk together the coffee and cocoa powder in a small heatproof bowl until the cocoa has dissolved. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium bowl. Set aside. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the granulated sugar and vegetable oil on medium speed. Add the eggs, vanilla and food coloring and mix until well combined. Mix in the cocoa mixture. Mixing on low speed, add the a third of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Add half the buttermilk. Add another third of the dry ingredients, mix until combined, and then add the remaining buttermilk.
- Stop the mixer. Stir the baking soda and vinegar together in a small bowl (it will bubble up). Immediately add it to the batter along with the remaining dry ingredients and mix for 15 seconds.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, set the pan on a baking sheet tray and bake until the top springs back when gently pressed and a toothpick comes out clean, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for 20 minutes, then remove the sides and slide the cake off the bottom to cool completely on the rack.
- Once completely cool, use a large serrated knife or a cake knife or cake leveler to trim off any doming on top of the cake. Slice the cake horizontally into 2 even layers.
- For the filling: Sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Set aside to bloom for 5 minutes.
- Mix the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high until creamy and smooth. Transfer 3/4 cup of the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip and set aside in the refrigerator. Microwave the bloomed gelatin until melted, about 20 seconds. Beat the gelatin into the remaining cream cheese along with the sour cream. Mix until smooth.
- Set aside 5 of the prettiest strawberries for decorating the top of the cake. Remove the green tops from the rest of the strawberries. Trim the berries if necessary so that they are similar in height when standing up on the trimmed end.
- To assemble the cake, set one layer of cake on a cake board or flat serving platter. Unlock the clean ring of the springform pan and place it around the cake layer. Take the second strip of parchment and wrap around the cake inside the ring so that it is standing up, then lock the cake ring so that it hugs the parchment against the cake.
- Spread 1/3 cup of the cream cheese filling over the cake layer. Slice a strawberry in half vertically and press the cut halves up against the parchment so that they touch at the bottom. Repeat until you have a ring of berries around the inside of the parchment. Take the remaining whole berries and fill in the interior of the ring, trimmed side down (you may not use all the berries, depending on their size).
- Spread the rest of the filling over the berries, making sure that it fills in the gaps between them.
- Gently tap the cake on the counter to eliminate any air pockets. Place the second cake layer on top, making sure the parchment is around the sides, and gently press down. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate until the filling is chilled through and set, at least 3 hours and up to 8 hours.
- When ready to serve, unlock the springform ring and lift it off the cake. Peel off the parchment strip, being careful not to pull it straight out but rather peel it gently away from the sides of the cake. With the reserved frosting, pipe 14 stars in a circle around the top edge of the cake, then pipe 10 stars in a smaller circle, and then 2 large rosettes in the center. Cut the reserved 5 strawberries in half vertically, leaving the green tops on, and place 7 strawberry halves in every other gap between the 14 piped stars. Arrange the remaining 3 strawberry halves on the rosettes in the center of the cake. Slice and enjoy!
RED VELVET CAKE WITH RASPBERRY FILLING
A delicious sounding variation on the Red Velvet Cake. I had never heard of Red Velvet Cake until I visited my husband's relatives in Chicago. (They even have Duncan Hienz Red Velvet Cake Mix there). It a traditional holiday cake in their family and since I tried it I have been on a quest for the best recipe. This is my latest contender gleaned from the pages of Cooking Light.

RED VELVET CAKE WITH BLACKBERRY-CREAM CHEESE WHIPPED FROSTING
The richness of this buttermilk batter, with its slight whisper of chocolate, is perfectly offset by a smooth cream cheese streaked through with violet swirl of blackberry compote.

Steps:
- For the cake:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Liberally prepare 3 9-inch round cake pans with the nonstick method of your choice.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, add the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and mix on low speed. Slowly add the oil and buttermilk.
- Increase the speed to medium-low and add the eggs 1 at a time, combining well after each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Slowly add the coffee, vanilla extract, vinegar, and food coloring. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix the batter until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Evenly pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 20 to 27 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a layer comes out clean. Do not overbake.
- Let the layers cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks. Let cool to room temperature. Lightly cover the cakes with foil or plastic wrap so they do not dry out.
- For the blackberry compote:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the blackberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and salt. Once the blackberries begin releasing their juices and the liquid begins to boil, after about 8 to 12 minutes, use a pastry cutter or fork to mash 1/2 of the berries. Leave the rest whole.
- Stir in the cornstarch and continue to cook at a boil, allowing the juices to cook down and thicken. The compote is ready when the liquid coats and completely sticks to the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat. Let cool to room temperature.
- For the frosting:
- Clean your stand mixer bowl and whisk attachment. Beat the cream cheese on high speed until it begins to thicken and become fluffy.
- Turn your mixer down to low speed and carefully add the confectioners' sugar. Once the sugar is fully incorporated, turn your mixer speed back up and continue whipping. Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue to whip until the frosting is smooth, light, and fluffy. Refrigerate the buttercream for 30 minutes to firm it up.
- To assemble:
- Once the layers are completely cooled, place 1 layer on a serving plate. Spread just the top with ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote over the frosting. Using a butter knife or skewer, swirl the compote into the frosting. Add the second layer and spread with another ⅓ of the frosting. Add ⅓ of the compote, swirling the compote into the frosting again. Add the final layer, bottom-side up, and top with the remaining frosting. Add the rest of the compote and repeat the swirling process. Do not frost the side of the cake. Garnish with the whole blackberries. Serve at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator.
