Berry Stack Cake (Super Easy and Melts in your mouth!)

You'll need:

Cake:
1 box cake mix (Betty Crocker)
3 Eggs
Vegetable oil(see box for quantity)

Filling:
8 oz Sour Cream
1 cup Cool Whip Extra Creamy
1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 pints of Blackberries

Bake the cake as directed on the box in 2 round cake pans.

Make room in the Refrigerator to store the cake.

After the cakes cool cut off the curved part of the cake(eat or throw it out). This will make the cake easier to stack . Then slice each cake in to 2 layers. Giving you a total of 4 layers between both cakes.

Place 1/2" layer of the filling on the top of the bottom cake layer, stacking a new layer on top and repeat don't put the filling on the sides of the cake. Place the rest of the filling on the top layer in a swirled pattern. Cover the center of the top layer with Blackberries or other berries.

To make filling Smash(mull)3 Blackberries(or other berries) in chilled mixing bowl, add Sour cream, Cool Whip, and Powdered sugar. Beat with chilled beaters on medium-high until fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.



I used:
White cake mix for the Blackberry Stacked cake
Yellow cake for the Strawberry Stacked cake.

Next attempts:
I am going to make a 13"x9" one for Christmas. It will only be 2 layers.
Cut the 13" x 9" in half, giving me 2 cakes @ 6 1/2" x 9". Then slice each 6 1/2" x 9" into 2 layers. This will be the easiest way to assembly the cake back into a 13" x 9" cake without breaking it.

This cake will MELT in your mouth. My sister in law at 4 pieces at one sitting. I was in shock that she at that much.
