Recipe Note
Any assortment of fresh berries works great for this recipe, including blackberries and blueberries. Use the freshest version you can find!
If layers are desired, cut cake through the middle once cooled. Double the frosting portion, and fill the center of the cake with the additional frosting before topping the cake and baking again.
