Berry Cream Cake

This light and airy Berry Cream Cake might just be the quintessential summer dessert. The creamy topping showcases whatever berries you choose to strew across it. For added flavor, feel free to pass a bowl of lightly sugared berries (not shown) of either a single type of berry you’ve used or maybe all of them, mixed together.
