This towering berry treat, made with a store-bought chocolate sponge, is easy to assemble and delicious beyond words! Sponge, cream and berries, plus more delights to tuck into. 

Want to bake the cake yourself, give this simple chocolate sponge recipe a go. 

Ingredients

380g 2-layer unfilled chocolate sponge cake

500ml thickened cream

2 Tbsp icing sugar mixture

2 tsp vanilla bean paste

3 cup fresh raspberries and strawberries

Dark chocolate shavings

Berry sauce, to serve

Method

  1. Buy a 380g 2-layer unfilled chocolate sponge cake. Using a large serrated knife, cut cake in half horizontally. Set aside 3 layers (keep remaining 1 for another use).

  2. Using electric hand beater, whip thickened cream, icing sugar mixture and vanilla bean paste until soft peaks form. 

  3. Put 1 sponge layer on cake stand. Spoon 1/3 of the cream mixture on top then scatter with 1 cup fresh raspberries and quartered strawberries. 

  4. Top with another sponge layer and repeat with cream mixture and another 1 cup berries, then again with third sponge, topping with remaining cream and another 1 cup berries, piling high. 

  5. Drizzle with berry sauce, scatter over dark chocolate shavings, dust with extra icing sugar and serve immediately. 

Cook's tips!

Use a store-bought berry sauce or, to make your own, put 1 cup thawed frozen raspberries and 2 Tbsp pure icing sugar in a bowl. Mash with a fork until very pulpy. Serve as is or strain through a fine sieve before drizzling over cake.
