Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
1 cup self-raising flour
1/3 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
1 tbsp lime zest
1 tbsp lime juice
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup raspberries
1/3 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries

Berry Mojito Cake is a delightful fusion of zesty lime, fresh berries, and a hint of mint, reminiscent of the classic mojito cocktail in the form of a delicious cake. With the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors, this cake is bound to be a hit at any gathering. The moist base combined with a fluffy cream and fresh berries makes it a refreshing treat perfect for any occasion.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Combine the flours (self-raising and all-purpose) in a separate bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.

5. Mix in the lime zest and lime juice gently until incorporated.

6. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Prepare the whipped cream frosting: In a large cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.

9. Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream over the top. Scatter half of the raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries over the whipped cream.

10. Top with the second cake layer. Spread the remaining whipped cream on top and sides of the cake. Decorate the top with the remaining berries.

11. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

12. Serve and enjoy your Berry Mojito Cake!

Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.

- When zesting the lime, avoid the white pith as it can be bitter.

- Gently fold the berries into the batter to avoid breaking them and releasing too much juice.

- Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form for a firmer texture that holds up well on the cake.

- For added freshness, garnish the cake with fresh mint leaves just before serving.

- Chill the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.

This Berry Mojito Cake is a refreshing dessert that combines the tangy flavors of lime with the sweetness of mixed berries and the softness of whipped cream. It's a celebration of flavors and textures that will leave your taste buds dancing. Whether for a festive gathering or a casual get-together, this cake is sure to impress your guests. Enjoy your culinary creation!
