Step-by-Step Instructions for Berry Chantilly Cake
- In a medium saucepan, combine mixed berries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat. Cook until thick and bubbly, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat unsalted butter, vegetable oil, and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, followed by vanilla and vinegar. Gradually mix in dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately.
- Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat mascarpone cheese until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the cake by spreading Chantilly cream over the first cake layer, followed by a layer of berry filling. Press the second layer of cake on top and frost with remaining Chantilly cream.
- Garnish with fresh berries and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes
