1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
2. Prepare baking pan by lightly greasing with pan spray or butter.

Mixing the Batter 

1. Place butter and sugar into mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix for 3-4 minutes on speed one, stopping the mixer to scrape sides and bottom with spatula after 1 min.
2. Add corn syrup and mix about 30 seconds, stop mixer and scrape sides and bottom with spatula.
3. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until emulsified. About 2-3 minutes on speed one, stop mixer and scrape sides and bottom with spatula.

Baking   

1. Place in a pre-heated oven and bake for 40- 45 minutes. Check the doneness by inserting a clean toothpick, which will come out clean when finished baking.

Resting 

1. Let cool for one hour, gently release from pan by tipping upside down.
2. Place cake on cooling rack until completely cool to room temperature, approx. 2-3 hours before serving; or wrap in cellophane and store at room temperature.

Whipped Cream, Fresh Fruit, and Berry Jam

1. Combine heaving whipping cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla into a mixing bowl.
2. Using a hand mixer or whisk, whip together the ingredients until they form stiff peaks.
3. Wash and slice strawberries and blueberries. Place in a bowl to use for toppings.
4. Optionally, you can make your own Homemade Berry Jam, or use store-bought.

Assembling with Whipped Cream and Berry Jam

1. Using one 8" round: After the cake has cooled, cut the cake in half creating 2 layers, using a serrated bread knife.
2. Lay the first cake layer onto a plate or cake stand. Begin with a layer of berry jam, then your desired amount of sliced strawberries.
3. Layer whip cream and top with your second cake layer.
4. On top of the second cake layer, add more whipped cream and sliced strawberries and blueberries.

Notes:

• You can double the recipe and make the layers from 2 cakes, instead of one.
• Whipped Cream and Berry Jam can be replaced with store bought options.
• Berry opportunities and topping combinations are endless!
