Naked Cake with Sugared Berries

Naked Cake with Sugared Berries.

I like cake. No, not true. I LOVE cake. I don’t mind baking cakes, because I get to eat said cake. However, I have never considered myself a cake decorator. I can bake you a delicious cake, but the decorating part isn’t my forte. I know my strengths and weaknesses. Doesn’t stop me from trying to do things I’m not the best at though. It does however encourage me to find different paths, and this is one of those paths. The Naked Cake. It’s my new cake best friend. Why? Because it’s a not so good at cake decorating kinda cake. Never mind that it’s currently super trendy. I will be making this cake for all of always.

I think it’s beautiful in it’s simplicity, it’s right up my alley. It’s perfectly imperfect. Just like me. This is a mile high cake. It’s definitely an eye catcher, a conversation starter and please give me a slice of that right now kind of cake. I’ve used two large layers but this could easily be a four layer cake. Because I’m a fan of icing and the outside isn’t heavy on icing, hello naked cake, I’ve compensated by using a hefty portion of icing in between the layers. Problem solved. Finding different paths. I’m good at that. If you’re not an icing fan, use less. No worries.

Naked Cake with Sugared Berries.

Sugared Berries and fresh rosemary were the perfect compliment to the naked cake. You could easily sub out seasonal berries. Cranberries and rosemary would be gorgeous this time of year as well.

xo!
