Ingredients:

  • 1 box of yellow cake mix (or homemade yellow cake recipe)
  • 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (16 oz) container of sour cream
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
  • 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (such as strawberries, blueberries, or peaches)
  • 1/4 cup fruit preserves (apricot or peach, optional for added sweetness)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
    • Prepare the cake mix as directed and bake it in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, poke holes in the cake using a fork or skewer.
  2. Make the Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the sugar until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the sour cream and mix well.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and sour cream mixture to create a fluffy filling.
  3. Assemble the Cake:
    • Once the cake has cooled and the holes have been poked, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the top of the cake.
    • Optionally, you can drizzle some fruit preserves over the filling for extra flavor and sweetness.
  4. Add the Fruit:
    • Arrange your choice of mixed fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese filling. Strawberries, blueberries, and peaches work wonderfully, but feel free to use any seasonal fruit you like.
  5. Chill and Serve:
    • Cover the cake and refrigerate it for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together.
    • Once chilled, sprinkle with chopped nuts (if using) before serving.
    • Cut into squares and serve this heavenly dessert to your guests!
