I made this cake for the Fourth of July this year. It was really good! I loved the cake! The icing was very light tasting but that was ok as it didn’t make the cake super sugary. I would make this again.

In reply to Mindy. You could try flour, but it may not thicken quite as much.

What can I use if I don’t have any cornstarch?

There’s asterisks* next to some of the ingredients like the cake flour and the egg whites, but no notes about them. What are these supposed to mean?

In reply to Heather. You can make the spread the day before. That's a great idea!

Can I make the berry layered spread the day before and chill or should it all be done same day?

In reply to Annette.

I used fresh strawberries and blueberries and put them right in the cake batter. I made them into cupcakes and used cream cheese frosting. Decorated the tops with a half of a strawberry and a couple blueberries. They made a great 4th of July dessert. Everyone asked how I got them so light…. It was the cake recipe, I’ll use it again for sure.

In reply to Shelly. I'm thinking the fruit just soaked into make it more dense. We just store ours in the fridge in an airtight container. Sorry..no other hints but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
