Triple Berry Butter Cake Recipes

EASY TRIPLE BERRY CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
• In large bowl, beat 3/4 cup sugar, the melted butter and sour cream with whisk until well blended. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until smooth. Stir in 1 cup of the berries. Spread batter in pie plate. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup berries and 1 teaspoon sugar over top.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes. Cut into wedges; serve with whipped cream.

THREE BERRY BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13- by 9- by 2-inch metal baking pan, then line bottom with wax paper and grease paper.
• Heat butter with cream in a small saucepan over low heat until melted, then cool.
• Beat eggs, granulated sugar, and salt with an electric mixer on high speed until mixture is thick, pale, and forms a ribbon when beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes with a standing mixer or about 12 minutes with a handheld. Add zest, baking powder, and vanilla and mix on low speed until blended.
• Add 1 1/4 cups flour and half of butter mixture and mix on low speed until blended. Mix in remaining butter and 1 1/4 cups flour in same manner. Increase speed to medium and beat 1 minute with a standing mixer or 2 minutes with a handheld, or until batter is thick and sticky. Add berries and carefully fold in with a rubber spatula until barely combined. (Raspberries will begin to fall apart, and batter will look slightly pink.) Spoon batter into baking pan, gently smoothing top. Bake in middle of oven until springy to the touch and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a rack.
• Run a knife around edge of cake, then invert rack over cake and flip cake onto it. Remove wax paper and reinvert onto a platter.
• Just before serving, dust with confectioners sugar.

TRIPLE BERRY BUTTER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9X13" baking dish.
• Combine butter and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until melted and warmed through, then allow to cool.
• In a large bowl or mixer, beat together eggs, sugar, and salt until lightened in in color, and thick and ribbony, 4-6 minutes. Beating time doubles if using a hand mixer.
• Mix in baking powder, vanilla, and lemon zest.
• In batches, gradually add flour to batter and mix just until incorporated, then carefully fold in 5 cups of mixed berries.
• Pour batter into greased baking dish and top with remaining berries.
• Place in oven and bake 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Remove from oven and let cool at least 15 minutes.
• To remove from pan, run a knife around the edges of the pan and invert cake onto serving plate. Serve upside down, or right side up.

TRIPLE BERRY SUMMER BUTTERMILK BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan, either with butter or a nonstick spray.* Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk or sift 2 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and impossibly fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Then, with the mixer on a low speed, add your eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Beat in vanilla, briefly. Add 1/3 flour mixture to batter, beating until just combined, followed by half the buttermilk, another 1/3 of the flour mixture, the remaining buttermilk and remaining flour mixture. Scrape down from time to time and don't mix any more than you need to. In the bowl where you'd mixed your dry ingredients, toss the berries with the 2 tablespoons of flour. With a silicon spatula, gently fold the berries into the cake batter. The batter will be very thick and this will seem impossible without squishing the berries a little, but just do your best and remember that squished berries do indeed make for a pretty batter.
• Spread cake batter - you might find it easier to plop it in the pan in large spoonfuls, because it's so thick - in the prepared baking pan and spread the top smooth. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, rotating the cake 180 degrees after 30 (to make sure it browns evenly). The cake is done as soon as a tester comes out clean of batter. At 10 minutes before my baking time was up, a tester was totally wet with batter and I was certain it would never be done in the estimated time. 7 minutes later, the same tester was clean as a whistle, so fret not.
• Set cake pan on a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, before inverting the cake onto a serving platter to cool the rest of the way. Cool completely. Once cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice and butter until smooth and very, very thick. (If you'd like it thinner, add more juice, but I like the thick drippiness of it, seen above.) Spread carefully over top of cake, letting it trickle down the sides when and where it wishes. Serve at once or keep it covered at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
• *Note: If you have a nonstick Bundt, just a coat of butter or nonstick spray should do. However, if you have a regular Bundt, not nonstick coated, you're really going to want to make sure every nook and cranny is well-coated with butter or even shortening (the solidity of both helps them stick to the cake walls), and then dust the inside with flour. Setting your cake pan in the fridge or freezer (to set the coating even further) while you make the cake batter will provide even more insurance.
