Triple Berry Vanilla Sheet Cake
Description
The sheet cake combines all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, vegetable oil, whole eggs, egg whites, vanilla, almond extract, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and milk to create a light but moist vanilla-flavored cake. The batter is beaten in stages and baked in a greased 9x13-inch pan until set.
Once cooled, it is frosted with a cream cheese and butter mixture blended with powdered sugar and vanilla extract, giving a smooth, tangy finish. The top is then decorated with sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and fresh mint leaves, adding freshness and a combination of sweetness and tartness.
This cake is suitable for gatherings or casual dessert occasions where a fruity and creamy cake is desired. Storing it in the refrigerator is advisable to keep the cream cheese frosting stable and fresh.
The cake base is adapted from trusted baking sources to ensure reliability in texture and flavor.

cream cheese frosting
- Beat the cream cheese and butter together until creamy. Beat in the sugar until combined. Beat in the vanilla extract. Frost the cooled cake! I like to keep the cake in the fridge because of the cream cheese frosting, plus we love cold cake! Top with the assorted berries and fresh mint to serve.
Notes
