If you’re in the mood for a satisfying dessert consisting of fresh fruit, you need this perfect Berry Chantilly Cake recipe in your life. It’s a beautiful delicious cake that is great for anytime.
What Is a Berry Chantilly Cake?
A Berry Chantilly Cake is a flavorful vanilla cake consisting of layers of sweet cream and assorted berries. This fresh berry chantilly cake is similar to a strawberry shortcake, but not exactly the same.
This moist vanilla cake is great to make for mom’s birthday or even a general birthday cake. It can definitely be made with cake mix but I’ve given you the perfect cake recipe below so you can make it from scratch.
It’s a great treat to serve when you enjoy fresh fruit, vanilla cake, and a homemade whipped topping with the perfect touch of sweetness. This popular dessert is known for it’s creamy chantilly cream nestled in between vanilla sponge cake. This homemade cake rivals the whole foods berry chantilly cake! When I made this for the first time I was blown away.
Which Berries Are Best to Use?
You can use mixed berries when you’re preparing this cake. It’s a good idea to use a combination of raspberries, blueberries, and even blackberries.
I have shared a bunch of great recipes including white cake, chocolate cake but I think this one is he best cake for a special occasion. It’s a great moist cake that you will make again and again.
You can even use sliced strawberries. The best part about adding berries to the cake is that you can use them fresh or frozen.
If you’re unable to find a variety of fresh berries at your grocery store, you can head over to the freezer section and grab a bag of frozen berries to add to your cake.
Is the Filling Made From Scratch?
Instead of using regular whipped cream, you’ll make a fluffy cream from scratch using a handful of different ingredients.
You can combine cream cheese with butter, mascarpone, powdered sugar, whipping cream, and a few other ingredients, leaving you with a light, fluffy, and flavorful cream to add to your cake.
While it tastes great on its own, it goes even better with the fresh taste of the homemade vanilla cake and the wholesome berries you’ll add to the cake.
How Many Cake Layers Do I Need?
The opportunities for layers of cream and cake are endless. It all depends on the size of the cake you’re making. You might want to add three or four layers of cream and cake before adding more chantilly frosting to the cake’s exterior. The fluffy chantilly cream frosting is the star of the show!
Don’t forget to add some fresh berries to the top of the cake as a finishing touch.

I'm confused about the measurements for the Chantilly cream. One box of cream cheese is 8 ounces. Do you mean four boxes or do you mean 16 ounces? Also, one stick of butter is 4 ounces. Do you mean 2 sticks or 4 ounces?

Hi Anon,
In the boxes I've purchased (philadelphia cream cheese) they come with two pouches of cream cheese -- 16oz each box 4oz butter, correction made thanks
