This cake is one of my dessert obsessions and one of my go-to recipes. Therefore, I was a bit hesitant to share it publicly. My mom found this cake recipe many years back and it has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. I have made many variations as well, anything from mini-cupcakes, full sized cupcakes and a trifle style dessert. This cake is amazing, scrumptious and has passed the Brickweg family standards. If something about the recipe doesn't appeal to you, just have fun with it. Experiment with your favorite cake flavors (red velvet works great) or instead of the raspberries it calls for, try it with peaches or strawberries. As you can see from the picture, we added blackberries for this birthday cake and it was delicious!
