Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- Food Coloring
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 10 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- fresh kiwi and berries for decorating
Instructions
Preparing the Cake Layers
- Beat the eggs with sugar until the mixture doubles three times in volume. Using a spatula, fold in the flour in thirds, being extra careful not to over mix the batter. Next, separate the batter into five equal portions for the five separate cake layers.
- Add a different food coloring into each layer, folding it in lightly so you don't compromise the fluffiness of the batter.
- Bake each layer at 350°F in a 9-inch pan for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean after being stuck in the center.

Making the Cake Cream
- Beat the cream cheese with sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Next, add in the extra cold heavy whipping cream and beat on high speed until it increases 3 times in volume.
Assembling the Cake
- Place a cake layer on a decorative plate. Spread on some of the cake cream and top with a layer of fruit. Repeat until you run out of cake layers.
- Use the remaining cake cream to frost the outside of the cake. Decorate the top with fresh fruit. Slice and enjoy!
