1
/3 Cup Unsalted butter; room temperature  
−1/2 Cup Sugar  
Egg yolks  
1/4 Cup Flour  
/4 Teaspoon Soda  
3/4 Teaspoon Baking powder  
/2 Teaspoon Salt  
Cup Sour cream  
Teaspoon Pure vanilla extract  
Egg whites; beaten until stiff  
Pint Blueberries; picked over, rinsed  
Pint Raspberries; rinsed  
Pint Strawberries; rinsed, sliced  
Drizzle of Grand Marnier  
2
Cup Sweetened whipped cream  
Powdered sugar; in a shaker  
Fresh mint sprigs  
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9−inch springform pan. Using an  
electric mixer, fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and 1 cup of sugar  
together. With the machine running add the egg yolks and beat until  
incorporated. Sift the flour, soda, baking powder, and salt together. Add  
the sifted ingredients to the creamed butter in 3 parts, alternating with  
thirds of the sour cream. Beat until the batter is smooth. Add the vanilla.  
Fold in the beaten egg whites into the batter. Pour the batter into the  
prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a  
toothpic inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the  
oven and cool on a wire rack. After the cake has cooled, use a knife to  
loosen the sides from the springform pan. Remove the springform and slice.  
In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining sugar with the berries. Using the  
back of a fork, lightly mash the berries. Add the Grand Marnier to taste. To  
serve, place a slice of the cake in the center of each plate. Spoon some of  
the macerated berries over piece of cake. Garnish the slice with whipped  
cream, powdered sugar and mint sprigs. This recipe yields 12 to 16 slices.
