So many surprises. Where do I start?
First of all, you should be able to find the original recipe here. Great pick Mary Ann.
Now, the sorry tale of the berry surprise cake.
I looked at the ingredients and realized that I didn't have any heavy cream or fresh berries. I figured I would just make do with what I had because there was no way I was going to the store after I had already been earlier in the morning. Poor planning on my part.
So I do the cake part. Making sure to follow the directions and 'treat the eggs like the divas that they are'. Despite my watchful care the cake fell!!!Surprise! I think the last time I had a cake fall so badly was when I was in high school. The crater was so big that I knew there would be no need to hollow out the middle for the filling, because, well.. there was no middle.
So then I went on to plan B. Since I didn't have any fresh berries or heavy cream I decided to just do my own thing after that. I whipped up some dream whip- ya, you know the stuff. Comes in a box in powder form- and then added the cream cheese I had creamed with sugar. I then frosted the cake with the mixture. After that I filled the crater with frozen berry mix and surprise!- it turned out great!

GREAT JOB!! Your cake looks so scrumptious!! Crazy I know, but I wish I had a digital photo frame to put all these delicious pictures on and place it on my desk at work so I can dream about eating these sweets all day!! I can't really eat sweets, but at least I can dream about them!!
I'm glad it turned out for you in the end. Looks great!
