8 cake recipes starring strawberries and blueberries

When berries are fresh, local and sweet, they’re delectable enough to eat as dessert on their own. But if you’re a baker like me, why stop there?

Berries and cake are one of the best pairings to showcase fresh fruit in baked goods. Whether folded into a batter, sandwiched between layers or artfully arranged on top of each serving, berries bring vibrant bursts of flavor and color. They’re right at home in layer cakes, skillet cakes, sheet cakes and more. To help you find some winners, I’ve combed our archives for recipes starring strawberries and blueberries, though in most instances you can swap in whatever you like or have on hand.
