Ingredients:
- 2 ¼ cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- ½ tsp (3g) salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large (150g) eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup (240g) full-fat sour cream
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 8 oz (225g) low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 4 tbsp (55g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream
- 1 pint (250g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 pint (250g) fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the sour cream into the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Prepare the frosting by beating low-fat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until velvety.
- Spread frosting evenly across the cooled cake.
- Decorate the cake by arranging blueberries in a rectangle in the top-left corner and creating stripes with alternating rows of sliced strawberries and frosting.
