Making a Mixed Berry Chantilly Cake for my niece's 1st birthday.
Recipe inspired by Preppy Kitchen. Link to ingredients, equipment and recipe here: https://benable.com/qa4hfy/everything-you-need-to-bake-a-mixed-berry-chantilly-cake
Modifications made:
Frosting:
-Flipped ratio of cream cheese to marscapone to 2:1 from 1:2 (creamier texture)
Cake:
- Made my own cake flour vs buying from the store
Mixed Berry Filling:
- Made my own using frozen mixed berries, lemon juice, lemon zest and granulated sugar.
- Pour in about 16 oz of frozen mixed Berry filling and let it thaw out a bit.
- Throw in a cup of granulated sugar and let the filling cook until it reaches a simmer.
- Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice in there. Zest the same half into the filling mixture.
- Continue until the mixture reaches a boil. Taste and adjust sugar and lemon juice as needed.
- If the mixture is too watery, mix equal parts water and cornstarch in a separate bowl to create a slurry. Toss the slurry into the filling and mix well until it reaches a boil again. It should feel thicker now.
