A light and fluffy vanilla cake topped with a layer of mixed berries and creamy cheesecake. Far less complicated than a regular cheesecake, this Mixed Berry Cream Cheese Cake is extremely light, and packed with juicy berries. In every mouthful you get cake, cheesecake and berries. Perfect for your next picnic or dessert table!
This recipe is inspired by picnic-suitable desserts. A while back I was invited to a picnic, and as always, my job was to bring the dessert. I wanted something that wasn’t going to be messy to eat and would hold up well for the hour-long commute. Enter this Mixed Berry Cream Cheese Cake. It has all the wonderful flavour of a cheesecake but has a vanilla cake on the bottom instead of a crust. The cake layer gets par-baked first for around 10 minutes, then the berries and cheesecake layer is added and then baked again. It couldn’t be more easy to put together, and it always impresses.
