~Vanilla Berry Cake~

1 Pack of Vanilla Cake mix/ White Cake mix 

1 can Evaporated Milk 

2 tbsp Plain Yogurt 

1/2 cup oil 

Berry Coulis

1 cup strawberries 

1/2 cup blueberries 

1/2 cup blackberries 

3/4 cup sugar (more or less according to taste) 

1/2 cup water 

1 tbsp fresh lemon Juice 

Vanilla Whipped Icing: 

2 cups heavy cream 

~1 cup powdered sugar (more if you want a sweeter icing) 

1 tbsp Vanilla or Few drops of Vanilla Extract 

Decorations/Toppings: White chocolate bar and Berry flavored sugar crystals 

For the Cake: 

1. Mix all the cake ingredients in a stand mixer till the batter is without lumps. 
2. I usually spread the batter out in 3 different pans to save cutting the cake after its baked.. This also yields perfect, even layers. 
3. I used a wide 15 in x 9 inched. It was a wide, rectangular pan and I spread the batter on it. The batter was about 1-2 inches thick. 
4. You can also use 4 baking pans of the same size and spread about 1-2 inches on batter on these pans (Don’t forget to line the pans with a baking sheet, coat with oil and sprinkle some flour on top before pouring the batter). 
5. Bake on 350 for ~10 minutes. The cake should be ready in 10-15 minutes since the layers are not too thick. Make sure you keep an eye on the cake! 
6. Once the cakes are out, rest for 5 minutes, remove your cakes and let them cool on the cooling rack. 

Berry Coulis Filling: 

1. Mix the berries, sugar and water in a non stick pan. 
2. Simmer the mixture on medium heat for till the jam starts thickening. 
3. Mash the berries with a masher or the back of your spoon and simmer for a few more minutes. 
4. Stir the coulis and once you see it leaving the pan edges, add 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice and turn of the stove. 
5. Let it cool. 

Whipped Vanilla Icing: 

1. In a stand mixer, add chilled Heavy whipping cream, Powdered sugar, Vanilla extract. 
2. Start whipping the icing in the stand mixer or with a hand blender until stiff peaks form. (this will take about 1-2 minutes) 
3. Store in the refrigerator until further use. 

Assembly: 

1. Cut up the layers of the cake if you used a wide pan, like I did, in equal sizes. 
2. Spray the layers with a sugar water mixture (1/2 cup water+ 1 spoon sugar) -OPTIONAL but this makes the cake layers very soft and spongy! 
3. Here is how you layer the cake= Cake layer+ Vanilla icing+ Berry Coulis+ another cake layer and so on. 
4. Once you ice the entire cake, use a vegetable peeler to peel the white chocolate bar on top of the cake to get some beautiful white chocolate shreds/ ribbons. 
5. Sprinkle with some flavored sugar crystals and enjoy!
