Flaky Berry Cream Pastry Cake Recipe
Equipment Required
Here's a list of equipment you'll need to make this recipe:
Exquisite Berry Cream Pastry Cake
A baking sheet
Parchment paper
A rolling pin
A small bowl
A fork
A pastry brush
Preparing the Puff Pastry
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold your thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll out the pastry into a 12x12-inch square. Be careful not to roll it too thin, as you want to maintain the pastry's flaky layers.
Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into a 10x10-inch square, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. This border will become the raised edge of your cake. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet, using the parchment paper to help you.
Creating the Berry Filling
In a small bowl, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Gently toss the berries until they're evenly coated. Spoon the berry mixture onto the center of the pastry, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Carefully fold the pastry border over the berry filling, pressing gently to seal it. Brush the beaten egg over the pastry border, and sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the border for a sweet, crunchy finish.

Ingredients For the pastry: • 2 sheets puff pastry (thawed if frozen) – about 500 g, at room temperature • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar – for dusting For the cream: • 2 cups heavy whipping cream (cold) – 480 ml, very cold • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar – about 30 g • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – 5 ml For topping: • 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, sliced strawberries) – about 150 g, fresh • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar – for dusting Instructions 1. Prepare the puff pastry Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the puff pastry sheets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then prick all over with a fork to prevent excessive puffing during baking. Lightly dust the tops with powdered sugar. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. 2. Prepare the cream In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. The cream should be smooth, airy, and slightly firm. 3. Assemble the cake Place one puff pastry sheet on a serving platter. Spread half of the whipped cream evenly over the pastry, then top with a portion of the fresh berries. Place the second puff pastry sheet on top, and spread the remaining cream over it. Arrange the remaining berries decoratively on top of the cream, then finish with a light dusting of powdered sugar. 4. Serve For a crisp texture, serve immediately after assembly. For a slightly firmer cake, refrigerate for about 1 hour before serving.
