Description
A delightful Huckleberry Chantilly Cake topped with luscious chantilly cream, celebrating summer’s fresh huckleberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups huckleberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare your cake pans by greasing with butter or non-stick spray and lining with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla extract until just combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients, alternating between flour mixture and buttermilk.
- Fold in the huckleberries gently to keep them whole.
- Divvy up the batter into prepared pans, smoothing the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool the layers in pans for about 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare the chantilly cream: whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Assemble the cake by stacking layers with chantilly cream and huckleberries between them.
- Garnish with additional huckleberries on top before serving.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Adjust the sweetness of the huckleberries if needed.
