Berry Chantilly Cake

Berry Chantilly Cake

FINALLY another sweet recipe! And it’s my version of my absolute favorite Whole Food’s cake! The famous Berry Chantilly cake. Cookies, can I be honest? The thought of making this cake terrified me for DAYS! I’ve wanted to try to do it for soooo long. I finally mustered up the courage. And with MUCH prayer, I DID IT! GLORY TO GOD! You know how much I detest baking! But, it wasn’t hard at all! 

The cake part was a breeze. I just made a simple and painless vanilla cake. The icing was what had me SHOOK! My piping skills have never been so hot. God bless the inventor of the Naked Cake! Life-saver! 

Don’t let ANYTHING intimidate you. Especially in the kitchen! You can do it! Just pray! And start with cupcakes if you don’t feel prepared to layer. I hope my leap of faith encourages you to take one as well inside and OUTSIDE of the kitchen. I believe in ya. 

Love,

B. Coop
