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.
