This moist vanilla cake is filed with fresh berries and topped with a light and creamy mascarpone whipped cream. As the weather warms up I find myself gravitation towards lighter cakes and mascarpone whipped cream fulfills that desire in spades! It's basically a more stable form of whipped cream with a hint of cheesecake flavor. I highly recommend making using this frosting for all of your favorite cake and cupcake recipes.

Baking Notes
I used raspberries and blueberries for this cake but you can substitute any of your favorites in. Make sure to cut up larger berries and toss with some flour before folding into the batter.
This cake is LOADED with moisture so it will need to bake for a longer time. Everyone's oven is a bit different so keep an eye on the cake's center. I will use a skewer and the spring test to make sure the cake is not under-baked.
If you want a bit less doming you can fashion your own cake strips wrap them around the edge of the pan. Click here for my full how to on getting flat layers!
