Folks, I got a whole load of cake recipes that I really really really want to share. I keep working up ideas, then go through the very hard job of testing them out a couple of times, photographing them and meaning to write them up.

Then the next idea hits and I don't get round to publishing the previous cake. So I am determined to clear up my huuuuge cake backlog starting with this beautiful strawberry blueberry cake.

Perfect really as in summer is almost here, which means we will be inundated with berries here, there and everywhere. One of my favourite ways of making this berry cake is with fresh strawberries and blueberries. I can also see it working quite well with the sharpness of raspberries or with all those juicy blackberries covering the hedges come autumn.

Friends, this light and fluffy sponge cake is sooooo ideal for serving up during the summer months. Simply with a topping of whipped cream and a generous portion of fruit decoration on top. So. Much. Yum. Plus the patriotic red white and blue colors make this fresh fruit cake the ideal dessert for your 4th of July celebration.
