Berry Cake

My triple berry cake is tender moist filled with fresh ripe berries suspended in a light whipped frosting and its pretty too! This is one of the easy delicious recipes made with fresh seasonal ingredients that you just need to make! If you only make one component from this cake try the frosting out!!!! Mascarpone makes everything better!

Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour three 8inch pans. Add damp cake strips.
Zest a lemon and set aside. Melt the coconut oil. Let it cool and set aside. Add the maple and honey to a small bowl. Heat for a few seconds in the microwave.
Lighten and leaven or sift the flour. Sift the other dry ingredients together in a large bowl and whisk together. Give the sifted mixture a whisk. Make sure all the lumps are gone.
Add the wet ingredients into a medium bowl and mix. Make sure to distribute the honey mixture well.
Add the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well. Add lemon zest.
Pour the batter into the cake pans and distribute evenly. I like to use a kitchen scale for precision.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the centers are done.
For the Frosting
Add the cream and confectioners sugar to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk
Whip the cream until it just starts to thicken
Add the mascarpone and beat on low bringing the speed up to high as the mascarpone is incorporated into the cream. Add the vanilla.
Beat until the mixture holds firm peaks. Overbeating can lead to a grainy texture.
For the Assembly
Add the filling to the first layer then cover with berries. Add more cream on top and smooth out. Add the second cake layer and repeat steps then add third layer cover with frosting and smooth out.
Push berries into the filling on the side of the cake then smooth out with an offset spatula.
Hull the strawberries.
Pipe dollops of cream on the top edge with a large star tip. Top each dollop with blackberries and strawberries.
