Layered cake with fresh berries and cream is a delicate treat that perfectly combines the lightness of the dough, the richness of the cream, and the freshness of summer berries. This dessert has roots in Russian cuisine, where layered pastries have always held a special place. The thin layers soaked in creamy milk-flavored cream make the cake extraordinarily soft, while blueberries and raspberries add a slight tartness and vibrant aroma. The thin layers of dough allow each piece to literally melt in your mouth, leaving a pleasant aftertaste. Such a cake is perfect for family celebrations or cozy tea parties, and its appetizing appearance and rich flavor will delight even the most discerning gourmets.

Cooking steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.

2. Roll each sheet of dough to a thickness of 2 mm. Cut the sheets into 4 equal squares. Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Bake the dough layers one at a time. Each for 7-10 minutes.

   Required ingredients:

   • Puff pastry: 500 g

3. The layers of dough will rise well. If desired, divide each of them into 2 parts, so the cake will soak in the cream faster.

4. Chill the cream and whip it to a thick sour cream consistency. Then, while continuing to whip, gradually add the condensed milk.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cream 33%: 200 ml
   • Condensed milk: 1 jar

5. Place the first layer on a plate and spread cream on it (divide the total amount of cream into as many parts as you have layers). On top of the cream, place a small amount of blueberries, spreading the berries over the entire layer.

   Required ingredients:

   • Blueberry: 400 g

6. Cover with the second layer, spread cream on it, and place raspberries on top. Alternate layers until all layers are used. Generously spread cream on the top layer. Try to also spread cream on the sides of the cake.

   Required ingredients:

   • Raspberry: 180 g

7. If you have some leftover dough while baking or cutting the layers, chop the scraps with a knife and sprinkle them over the cake.

   Required ingredients:

   • Puff pastry: 500 g

8. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours so that all the layers are well soaked with cream and the aroma of fresh berries.
