Berry and fruit cake with chocolate sauce
To make a cake decorated with fruits and berries and chocolate sauce, the hostess should prepare all the ingredients in advance. The composition is quite simple, so the products can be easily found in the grocery store. This cake will include not only a light cream, but also fresh raspberries and peach slices, you will get an incredibly delicate treat.
Ingredients:

- powdered sugar - 1 cup;
- butter -190 grams;
- water - 120 ml;
- fresh peaches - 2-3 pieces.
Cooking process:
To prepare a cake decorated with fruits and berries according to this recipe, you need to start with the preparation of chocolate, for this the tile is broken into pieces, poured with already brewed hot coffee, and then left for several minutes. While the chocolate is melting, you can take a large bowl and pour flour, cocoa powder, a little salt and baking powder into it. Liquid products are combined in a separate container, first kefir or milk is poured in, then chicken eggs, the required amount of vegetable oil and Valili extract are added to it. Now you can combine the liquid and dry base for the future test, it is important to mix everything thoroughly so that there are no lumps left in the test. Already melted chocolate with coffee is poured there, everything is mixed well again.
Baking the cake in the oven:
The prepared mass is poured into separate baking dishes, you can use three to get three identical biscuits. If three forms were not found, then one cake is baked, and after cooling it is cut into three equal parts. The container with the dough is sent to the oven, where the cake is baked for about forty minutes, sometimes it takes a little more, or a little less time.
Cream preparation:
Next, you can prepare a creamy mass, for this half of the powdered sugar is mixed with water and moved to the fire, and while the syrup is cooking, you can beat the second part of the powder with six chicken proteins. Ready syrup is removed from the heat. Without waiting for cooling, they begin to gradually pour it into the egg mass in a thin stream, while it is very important not to stop the whipping process. As soon as the syrup is added, you can put the required amount of butter into the cream and beat everything again until smooth.
The cream is divided into two equal parts, and then the peel is removed from the peach and the stone is removed, and the raspberries are simply washed. It is more convenient to make puree from a peach with a blender, and it is easy to just mash raspberries. Peach is added to one half of the cream, and raspberries to the other, then both creams are mixed.
Cake assembly:
The cake is assembled quickly enough, for this the cake is smeared first with peach cream, then another cake is laid, it is smeared with raspberry cream. The third cake can be smeared with two types of cream at once, and it is recommended to use fresh raspberries and slices of juicy peaches as a decoration.

To do this, just melt the dark chocolate in a water bath and add a piece of butter to it. Then the resulting cake is poured with such a sauce on top, it comes out not only beautiful, but also very tasty.
Cake with sour cream, decorated with fruits and berries
Such a cake with sour cream can be an excellent alternative to a buttery dessert with condensed milk. It is worth considering that sour cream for the cream should not be greasy, otherwise the dessert will be quite heavy. As a dessert decoration, we will use grapes, kiwi, strawberries, but the hostess can replace these berries and fruits with any others. In the previous recipe, we made chocolate sauce (photo), you can also use it for this recipe.

- non-fat sour cream - 800 grams;
- kiwi large - 4 pieces;
- grapes - a large bunch;
- strawberries - 20 medium berries;
- walnuts - the required amount;
- gelatin in granules - a teaspoon;
- powdered sugar and vanilla sugar.
Let's start cooking:
To make a cake decorated with fruits and berries, according to the presented recipe with a photo step by step, you must first prepare the gelatin mass, for this, the gelatin is soaked in water for about forty minutes. Next, they begin to prepare the cream, in our case sour cream is used, so the product is transferred to a separate bowl and whipped with powdered sugar and vanilla. The recipe does not indicate the amount of bulk products for the cream, since the hostess herself must regulate the sweetness of the finished product. Gelatin is gradually added to the whipped mass, and then everything is mixed and put on fire.
The mass is boiled over low heat for five minutes, and then the composition is removed from the stove and allowed to cool, you can add a little crushed nuts to the cream. Now fruits and berries are taken, they are washed and cut into circles, a few berries are left to decorate the finished dessert.
Cake assembly:
You can start the process of assembling a cake decorated with fruits and berries according to the recipe with a photo. For this, the first ready-made biscuit cake is taken, it is abundantly smeared with cream and sprinkled with chopped nuts. You can put a little fruit in the very middle, then the assembly process is repeated until all the cakes are over.
The last cake is smeared with cream on top and sides, then the sides are decorated with chopped nuts. The top of the cake should be garnished with chopped fruit and berries, but if they were added between the layers, then the top is garnished with whole strawberries and halves of grapes.

Cakes with berries in general bring a special joy, reminding with the freshness of a scattering of berries about a wonderful time when it was possible to harvest a ripe harvest. Meet: a cake with berries, made according to a homemade recipe with explanations and photos.
- Inventory and kitchen appliances: you need containers for mixing ingredients, a deep frying pan, a scale on which you can weigh small masses, or a special measure, a whisk (you can also use a mixer), a glass, spoons, a pastry spatula and a pastry bag, a sharp knife, cutting thread, a baking dish (detachable), oven (preferably large). Along the way, sometimes additional needs arise, so it is advisable to have the most complete set of kitchen utensils.

If there is no measurement for accurate weight measurement, then a tablespoon is used: for sugar 18 spoons, for flour - 18 with a slide.
Ingredients for filling the berry biscuit cake:
For the cream you need to buy:

How to cook a berry cake with cream cheese cream: a step by step recipe
Let's start preparing a cake decorated with berries, and for greater clarity, the process can be seen in the photo.
According to the recipe for cottage cheese cake with berries, you first need to sift the flour - a prologue to making biscuits.
After breaking the eggs, separate the whites and beat them well.
Slightly salted proteins beat much better.
Add a tablespoon of sugar to the protein foam, without stopping the whipping procedure. This will take 9 of the 18 available spoons. 
The remaining half of the sugar is used to beat the egg yolks until the sugar dissolves in them. A stretching light mass is formed.
We repeat the same procedure twice. 
Line the bottom of a baking dish with parchment paper. The dough should fill it no more than two-thirds. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, the biscuit will be ready in about 40 minutes. Readiness, as always, I check with a match (you can use a toothpick) through the ajar door of the oven. 
Do not open the door completely, and the biscuit should also cool down closed in the oven.
The cooled product, with edges pre-treated with a knife, is released from the mold and separated from the parchment bedding.
When the biscuit has completely lost the accumulated heat, it must be wrapped in a film (food) and moved to the refrigerator. Thorough cooling there can take up to 10 hours.
It is unacceptable to put a biscuit that has not yet cooled down in the refrigerator - it can be spoiled by condensate.
Cooking a cake sequentially from two biscuits can sometimes be tedious. You can save time by using two baking dishes in two ways:
1. While the first biscuit is baking and cooling (about an hour and 20 minutes in total), the dough for the second one is quietly waiting in the form.
2. Both forms are placed in the oven (this is even faster) - this turned out to be possible in my gas stove stove. After 20 minutes, I move the upper form down, and vice versa.
It is clear that in this case the dough must immediately be prepared in a volume sufficient for two biscuits. Experience has shown that the quality of baking remains quite satisfactory.
Now about the filling for the cake with berries, prepared at home.
Do it like this:
- bring all the berries placed in water with the addition of sugar to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for another quarter of an hour;
- using a colander, separate the berries from the syrup;
- get rid of most of the bones with a sieve.
Finally, about the caramel layer, without which a delicious cake with berries would lose a certain charm.
The main operation during the creation of homemade salted caramel is the continuous mixing of successively added ingredients.
To make caramel, you need:
1. Melt the sugar.
2. Sequentially add and completely dissolve to a state of uniformity each component - butter, cream, salt.
3. Pour the resulting caramel mass into a separate bowl. 
When the caramel cools, the color will become lighter, and the mass itself will become thicker.
We turn to the final steps on the way to the cherished berry cake - we begin to assemble it.
From two biscuits we make 4 cakes. A long and very sharp (bread) knife can in this case be successfully replaced with a harsh thread, before using which you still need to make a small incision with a knife. 
Each cake will need to be smeared with cream, except for the top one. Next, lay one of the biscuits on a dish or stand on which it will be served.
To prevent the cake from fidgeting around the dish, you can stick it to it by placing the bottom biscuit on a small amount of cream.
The bottom biscuit is plentiful, so that it is well soaked, pour with berry syrup. The next two cakes are also soaked in syrup, but from both sides. On the biscuit covered with berry filling, which acts as a foundation, the second cake is laid, which, after the first impregnation, is turned over to complete the second. 
Between the second and third biscuits, a centimeter layer of cream cheese cream is laid. The last gap is filled with salted caramel sprinkled with crushed peanuts. On this layer lies the top biscuit, soaked only from below.
cream cake recipe
You can switch to cream. 
To prepare a cream for a cake with berries, it is necessary to whip the cream for 5 minutes until high foam, increased density and slightly increased volume. 
Gradually, cottage cheese is added to the cream in small parts, after which the mass is whipped to a homogeneous consistency. 
Powdered sugar is also added in portions during the ongoing whipping process.
Curd cheese can even be salty, sugar will do its job, creating the desired flavor.
The sweetness of the cream can be varied, focusing on the taste of biscuits.
How beautiful to decorate and serve a berry cake
In order for the cake decorated with berries to look as spectacular as possible, you must first level it with a pastry spatula. And before that, a layer of cream is applied to the biscuits through a round nozzle on a pastry bag (if there is no nozzle, the top of the bag is cut off and the cream is squeezed out of the hole).
To begin with, a thick creamy layer is applied, which is the main one, and the subsequent ones already play a corrective role. 
The decoration of the surface of the assembled cake depends on the wishes of the confectioner: berries, cookies, fruits, icing, etc. 
1. Cream, cream and biscuits should be chilled, it will be more convenient to work with them.
2. If possible, use cottage cheese on the day of purchase, since it is just not suitable for cream after storage in the refrigerator.
3. If you pass cottage cheese or curd cheese through a meat grinder (sieve, blender) before use, then the cream will turn out to be more magnificent.
4. It is advisable not to store the cream cheese cake for more than 7 hours.
5. Be patient, do not plan other things during active cooking, do not be distracted during cooking.
Video recipe for making a cake with berries
A very similar recipe for a cake with berries (in this case, only with raspberries) is shown in the proposed video. The stages of preparation of biscuits, cream and the formation of the cake itself are clearly and briefly shown. It is recommended to bake the dough after the appearance of bubbles on the surface, and cool the cream in the freezer.
Invitation to discuss the cake and possible improvements
The proposed recipe is quite complicated, and the preparation itself looks cumbersome from the outside. I use this option only on holidays, although the cooking process, not to mention the result, is satisfying. I will read simpler recipes with interest, even to the detriment of sophistication, but with the preservation of the main flavor composition.
Today, more and more confectioners refuse to use fat cream roses and bulky figures - the most stylish and popular is the use of fruits, berries and flowers. With the help of available and common ingredients, even at home and without special skills, you can turn an ordinary biscuit into a work of art.
What berries to use?
The choice of berries should depend not only on taste preferences, color and size, but also on the amount of juice contained. Those fruits that are filled with excess liquid are not recommended, that is, you will have to exclude melon, watermelon and gooseberries, as well as cranberries. Berries, of course, should be fresh and bright, dense and not overripe, without cracks and spots. Strawberries are not forbidden to use directly with the stalk.
Before eating cherries, the stone must be removed from it.
In the case when frozen berries are to be used, it is important to ensure that they do not lose their shape. To this end, the fruits are first transferred from the freezer to the refrigerator, and a few hours later they are taken out of the cold and warmed up at room temperature. Canned berries are removed from the sweet syrup and filtered before use. It is important to remember that sour berries are usually chosen to neutralize the excessive sweetness of the cream.
By the way, raspberries go well with blackberries or blueberries and crispy macaroons, and kiwi becomes a successful fruit addition in almost any case. When the cake is decorated with raspberries and strawberries, it is worth covering them with chocolate, completely, half or in stripes. The color of the berries should depend on the shades of the cake itself., for example, a chocolate base requires additions in the form of red fruits, yellow or orange cherries will stand out brightly against a background of light yellow jelly, and figs along with blackberries will decorate a cake covered with lavender cream.
How to decorate a cake at home?
The easiest way to decorate a cake with your own hands is to use a berry decoration. As a rule, if the top of the cake is covered with a light cream, for example, white, then a scattering of ordinary bright berries is enough to create a decent decor. In this case, the cream is made from four proteins, a glass of powdered sugar, two tablespoons of lemon juice and a block of butter. Preparations begin with the fact that the proteins, separated from the yolks, are cooled and in a dry container they begin to beat with a mixer. You need to do this at low speed, step by step, adding powdered sugar.
As soon as the mixture begins to resemble foam, it will need to be placed in a water bath and heated for about four minutes to completely melt the sugar. Then the substance is combined with heated oil and lemon juice and whipped again until it becomes fluffy. Using a pastry bag or special tools, the cake is smeared with cream on top, on the sides and between the cakes. Berries are placed on top either randomly or forming a certain picture.
A cake decorated with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and lingonberries, as well as candied cherries, will look best. By the way, if the cake is planned to be multi-layered, then some of the fruits can also be used for cream between the cakes.
The combination of strawberries and cream is considered a classic. To use them to decorate a cake, you will need 400 milliliters of high-fat cream and six tablespoons of powdered sugar. Chilled cream is whipped until fluffy peaks are obtained, and before starting the process, fat is additionally scraped off from the inside of the package and combined with the total mass. The bowl and whisk should also be frozen in the refrigerator for about five minutes. Beat first at medium speed, and then gradually increase it.
After about a couple of minutes, you can add powdered sugar, and it's worth stopping when steep peaks form - after about ten minutes. Then the cake is covered with cream, and the strawberries are neatly stacked around the edge and in the middle. You can also cut the berries into thin slices, and then, as it were, “stick” along the edges of several levels. By the way, you can decorate such a dessert with a few chocolate-covered strawberries. To create such a decorative element, you will need a bar of chocolate, a little milk, about ten large fruits and, if desired, nuts.
The chocolate is melted in a water bath, if necessary, using milk to create the desired consistency. Then each berry is dipped into the resulting substance, after which it is placed on the surface of the cake. This design can be supplemented with a nut crushed to a state of dust on a grater or chocolate curls drawn with a pastry bag. By the way, you can dip strawberries in bitter, milk or white chocolate.
In Russia, the use of gelled berries, which form a separate layer of the cake, is also quite common. In this case, you will need to use a package of gelatin, a tablespoon of granulated sugar, half a glass of plain water and a teaspoon of lemon juice. In addition, it is more convenient to work with a sliding form. First, according to the instructions, gelatin dissolves in water until it swells. After about a quarter of an hour, you should place it in a water bath so that the powder dissolves completely.
As soon as the substance boils, the fire will have to be extinguished and lemon juice and granulated sugar should be added to the saucepan. On the ready-made biscuit, fixed in a sliding form, cut fruits are beautifully placed. Jelly is carefully poured with the top layer, and you need to move from the center to its edges. In another version, the berries are simply smeared with a jelly substance. The cake is put in the refrigerator and served when the gelatin layer has already hardened.
If it is necessary to make the jelly colored, then the dyes will have to be added even at the stage of being in a water bath. By the way, they can be replaced with berry or fruit juice. Red jelly goes well with strawberries, raspberries or redcurrants, and yellow jelly with yellow cherries.
There is also the option of adding cream or yogurt after the gelatin has cooled. Such additives will make the taste more tender.
When working with berries, you can use the carving technique. For example, the fruits are cut along their length into thin slices, and the resulting pieces are used to fold the flowers. For volume, the composition can be placed on a chocolate stand or in a recess on the cake. A simpler solution is to cut the berry to the base to get peculiar petals.
For convenience, the fruits can always be strung on a toothpick, and then fixed in the chosen place. A handful of berries, which is crowned with an ordinary waffle cone, will look very beautiful and original, and the usual “Napoleon” will gain a second wind if you decorate it with a wreath of raspberries, strawberries and blueberries and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
How to keep fruits fresh?
So that the berries on the cake do not wind up, dip them properly in caramel, sprinkle with non-melting powder or cover with a special transparent confectionery gel designed for this purpose. Also, so that the fruits shine and do not slip from their place, they can be smeared with sugar-added jelly for cakes.
Design examples
To decorate the cake beautifully, it is enough to follow a few recommendations and not be afraid of experiments, because even when the berries are spontaneously laid out on the surface of a lush cream layer, the picture looks great. Small compositions and single fruits are also best laid out at the edges, and large ones should be placed in the center. Sometimes triangles are formed from whole berries or their pieces, converging vertices in the center, and they should be supplemented with miniature chocolates.
A sponge cake completely covered with snow-white cream or a light-colored cheesecake will look expensive and elegant if a berry crown is placed on its top. In this case, slices of strawberries, blackberries, red currants, raspberries and blueberries are freely located along the edge. A couple of small sprigs of mint will be a necessary decorative addition.
Interspersed blueberries are neatly placed between them. At the bottom of such a cake there is another, but already simplified, thin crown - thin slices of strawberries and single blueberries. It is worth advising to supplement the dessert with chocolate smudges coming directly from under the layer of berries.
A laconic single-tier cake with a blue coating will sparkle with new colors if you place a fruit and berry crescent on it. For this purpose, strawberries, whole and half, blueberries, cherries with twigs and pitted apricot halves will come in handy.
A very original solution would be to decorate an ordinary pastel cake with a berry crown with small cookies. Blackberries and raspberries are used along with square neat crackers and large blueberries. In addition, halves of yellow cherry tomatoes become the highlight of the cake. A plentiful harvest will allow you to create a bright decor by making a berry “hat”, from under which chocolate smudges flow. Ripe raspberries, blackberries and red currants completely cover the surface of the cake, and some currants placed along the edges do not even separate from the branches.
A dessert with chocolate and berry coating will definitely be memorable. First, the surface of an ordinary light cake is completely filled with chocolate, gently flowing down the sides. Then half of it is filled with ripe berries - raspberries and blueberries, and the fruits of the latter should still be more. The second half is decorated with chocolates, chocolate slices and other goodies.

Cooking:
Prepare a biscuit.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Line the bottom of a detachable form with parchment, do not lubricate the sides of the form in any way.
The dough will stick to the walls during baking, due to which, when it cools down, it does not deform, but remains even and lush.
Break eggs into a small saucepan and add sugar.
Put everything in a water bath and beat with a whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved.
The mass should become foamy and lighten slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, pour the mass into a food processor or into a deeper container.
Continue beating at high speed for 5-8 more minutes, or until the mixture has tripled in size.
Sift the flour, melt the butter and cool to room temperature.
Sift a third of the flour into the whipped mass and gently mix with a spatula or whisk from top to bottom, do not interfere for a long time and do not make sudden movements.
Pour a third of the oil around the edge and mix.
Thus, add all the flour and pour in all the oil.
Pour the biscuit mass into the prepared form.
Bake at medium level ~35-40 minutes.
The baking time depends on your oven, you can check with a toothpick - it should come out completely dry. Do not open the oven door during baking.
Cool the biscuit in the form on the wire rack, turning the form upside down.
To remove the biscuit, you need to walk with a thin sharp knife along the sides and remove the ring from the form.
I use a plastic spatula as the knife still scratches the shape.
Turn the cake over and wrap in foil or cling film. Place in refrigerator for 4-8 hours.
Biscuit can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, in the freezer for 1 month.
Prepare the soak.
Dissolve sugar in hot water, cool and add alcohol.
Prepare berries.
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries fresh, the amount by eye or taste, you can combine, wash, dry with paper towels, cut strawberries if desired.
If cooking with cherries: 300 g of frozen cherries, 15 g of cornstarch, 50 g of sugar - without defrosting, put cherries in a saucepan, add sugar, bring to a boil over low heat; dilute starch in 30 ml of water in a glass and quickly pour into cherries, stirring constantly, brew ~ 2 minutes, until a uniform transparent color is achieved. Cool down completely.
Cut canned peaches, use syrup instead of impregnation.
Canned pineapples, use syrup instead of impregnation.
You can also cook with mango, fresh apricots, soaked prunes, etc.
You can make raspberry, strawberry or cherry confit according to the principle of.
Prepare cream.
Put the cottage cheese in a bowl, pour in the powder and mix.
Whip the cream to firm peaks, add to the curd and mix gently until smooth. Here you need to try the cream for sugar, if it seems a little, add powdered sugar and mix.
Pour gelatin with 2 tablespoons of water, dissolve in a water bath (I dissolve in the microwave, but I don’t advise beginners), gelatin should never boil!
No need to chill gelatin!
Add 2 teaspoons of cream to the dissolved hot gelatin and mix immediately (this is done in order to cool the gelatin, otherwise it will be grains in the finished cream).
Pour the gelatin solution into the cream while constantly stirring the cream (you can beat at the lowest speed of a mixer or blender).
Use the cream right away!
Collect cake.
Biscuit cut into 3 parts. I cut with a sharp serrated bread knife.
Put the ring for the cake with acetate film or strips of baking paper (glue it on the butter), place it on the cake stand (plate), put 1 cake and fix the ring.
Soak with a silicone brush, put 1/3 of the cream.
Lay out some of the berries.
I photographed the cake under mastic, so the sides are lined with strips of biscuit.
Put the second cake on top, level it, soak it and lay out another 1/3 of the cream and some of the berries.
Put the third cake, smooth, soak, lay out the remaining cream and decorate with berries or to taste.
Put the finished cake in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours, and preferably at night.
Carefully remove the ring and serve. Enjoy your meal!
P.S. From this amount, a low homemade cake is obtained.
To get a cake 10 cm high, I bake a biscuit for 5 eggs in a ring with a diameter of 18 cm (or in 2 rings for 3 and 2 eggs at the same time), cut into 3 cakes 1.5-1.8 cm thick.
The amount of gelatin depends on many factors, if you are not sure about yours, it is better to take a little more. If the cake is for mastic, then it is better to take 7-8 g, so it will be easier to work. The amount of gelatin affects the firmness of the soufflé, not the taste. With 5 g it turns out very, very tender and airy.
This biscuit is my favorite, but you need to get used to it and be sure to use high-quality eggs and butter!
Cottage cheese is needed exactly pasty - it is sold in jars, not homemade, not granular, not grainy, etc., but homogeneous like sour cream. You can use cream cheese, the proportions are the same, but the taste will be different. If you use yogurt, then increase the amount of gelatin by 3 g.
