Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 10-inch round cake pans; line with parchment. Butter parchment, then dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla seeds. In a separate bowl, toss together blueberries and cornstarch.
- In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt on low speed until well combined. Continue beating while gradually adding butter until mixture is crumbly, about 3 minutes.
- Slowly add half of milk mixture; increase speed to medium and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly add remaining half of milk mixture, scraping down bowl as needed. Beat until incorporated, about 1 minute more. Remove bowl from mixer; fold in blueberries.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans, spreading to edges with a small offset spatula. Tap pans on counter to release any air bubbles. Bake, rotating pans halfway through, until a tester inserted in centers comes out clean and tops are lightly golden, about 30 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool completely. Turn cakes out of pans and remove parchment.
- Swiss Meringue Buttercream: Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, 6 egg whites, and a pinch of salt in the heatproof bowl of a mixer set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch and feels completely smooth when rubbed between fingertips, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; whisk on low speed until foamy. Increase speed to medium-high until stiff, glossy peaks form and mixture has cooled completely, about 10 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low; add 4 sticks butter, 2 tablespoons at a time, whisking until fully incorporated after each addition. (Don't worry if buttercream appears curdled after all of butter has been added; it will become smooth again with beating.) Whisk in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
- Switch to paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until air bubbles are eliminated, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic, and let stand at room temperature. Repeat process twice more with remaining ingredients, using the same amounts each time, then combining all three batches of buttercream in the large bowl and covering with plastic. Remove 2 cups buttercream; set aside.
- Fold jam into large bowl of buttercream. Add burgundy food color, a drop at a time, until desired color is reached.
- Assembly:Place a cake layer, bottom-side down, on a cake stand or serving platter. Spread about 1 1/2 cups buttercream over it; top with a second cake layer, bottom-side down, and another 1 1/2 cups buttercream. Finish with a third cake layer, bottom-side up. Evenly spread top and sides of cake with a 1/2-inch thickness of buttercream, smoothing with an offset spatula.
- Divide remaining buttercream among three bowls, then lighten each with some of the reserved 2 cups white buttercream, creating different shades. Transfer to pastry bags fitted with open and closed star tips in a variety of sizes. Pipe swirls and rosettes of buttercream on top of cake. Frosted cake can be refrigerated overnight; bring to room temperature and top with berries before serving.

Steps:
- Vanilla Cake
- Heat oven to 350°F. Prepare three 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix by hand or with hand mixer until well combined. Then set aside.
- In a separate medium mixing bowl, add milk, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla. Mix well, then add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the water to the batter and mix slowly or on low speed until well combined.
- Evenly divide the batter among the 3 prepared cake pans.
- Add 2/3 cup fresh blueberries to each of the 3 prepared cake pans. Gently press into batter.
- Bake for 26 to 30 min. or until cakes pass the toothpick test.
- Let cakes cool for 10 to 15 min., then remove from cake pan to cooling rack to completely cool. Note that the blueberries are dense and will likely sink to the bottoms of the cake pans during bake time and that is okay.
- Blackberry Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a blender or food processor, purée the blackberries.
- Using a strainer, separate the blackberry purée and seeds. Throw out the seeds, then set purée aside.
- In a stand mixer, mix butter and PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese until well combined.
- With mixer on low, add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time and adding the vanilla after half of the powdered sugar has been added.
- Add blackberry purée and mix until well combined. (The frosting will go from a white color to a light purple color.)
- Assembly
- Place the first cake round on a cake stand, serving plate or cardboard cake round.
- Spread a thin layer of Blackberry Cream Cheese Frosting over the top of the first cake round. (I use an angled icing spatula, but a silicone spatula or spreading knife will work as well.)
- Repeat process with second and third cake rounds until all three cake rounds are stacked and frosted. (Note: The top layer should be a moderate layer of icing where the bottom layers should be thin.)
- With the remaining frosting, spread frosting around the outside of the cake using a cake scraper, spreading knife or silicone spatula. To achieve the "naked cake" look, scrape icing from the cake layers until visible through the frosting. The goal of a naked cake is to allow parts of the cake to show with no exact pattern. All frosting may not be used, depending on how thick you want to layers to be. Any excess frosting can be refrigerated for up to 7 days.
- Cut half of the strawberries into halves. Place halved strawberries, whole strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries and blackberries on top of the cake and around the base of the cake. (There is no exact pattern to placing the berries on or around the cake so place them however you would like.)
- Let cake sit in refrigerator for 45 to 60 min. for frosting to firm.
- Serve and enjoy!
