This Kiwi Berry Cake. Is. Good! It was my husbands birthday cake. I know how much he loves fruit in, on and around cake so I made his dreams come true with this stunner. We ate it today and there wasn’t a crumb left behind! My whole family enjoyed it!

The combination of kiwi, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries worked really well, but you can sub any of the fruit with whatever you like and make this cake your own.

The base is a biskvit cake (classic Russian sponge). I’ve found that a 15 ingredient cake batter doesn’t always equate to a better cake. I’m more impressed that this cake has only three ingredients: eggs, flour, sugar.

Don’t get me started on the cream cheese frosting. Oh the frosting…

Ingredients for the Kiwi Berry Cake:

6 large eggs, room temp
1 cup granulated  sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour *measured correctly
1/2 tsp baking powder

Frosting Ingredients for the Kiwi Berry Cake:

1 cup heavy whipping cream
16 oz cream cheese, softened at room temp
3/4 cup sugar

Toppings/Fillings:

3-4 Kiwi
1 lb Strawberries
1 to 1 1/2 cup Blueberries
1 cup raspberries

2. Combine 6 eggs and 1 cup sugar in the bowl of your electric mixer and beat on high speed for 7 minutes or until tripled in volume and fluffy. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder and sift it into the whipped eggs in thirds, folding with a spatula between each addition just until all of the flour is incorporated. DO NOT OVER-MIX or your cake won’t rise well.

3. Transfer your dough to your buttered and lined cake pans. Set aside.

4. Bake at 350˚F for 22-25  minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Let the cakes cool down on wire racks, then remove from the pans.

4. Repeat with the remaining layers and spread frosting over the top and sides. Decorate the top ands sides of the cake with fruit. I placed my larger fruit down first: First Strawberries, then raspberries, followed by blueberries then kiwi. I just placed berries onto the cake until it looked full and pretty. For the bottom border, I cut raspberries in half and alternated the raspberries with blueberries to make a ring around the base of the cake. You can also put kiwi slices around the bottom if you like.

      Hi Ridah. You can use granulated white sugar/cane sugar. You can use a little food coloring, gel works best.
