Triple Berry Cake W/Yellow & Strawberry Cake

I made this for my husband's birthday and didn't have all the right ingredients and kind of winged it. Turned out fabulous and was a big hit for everyone! And I won't lie, I put it in tupperware and ate it straight out of the containers for days afterwords! There's fruit in it, so it's still healthy, right? :)

- Cool in pans 10 minutes and turn out on wire racks.

- Pour over berries and stir carefully to glaze berries.
- Place 1 layer of cake on a platter; spread with whipped cream and spoon 1/3 cup berries on it.
- Repeat with 2nd and 3rd layers.
- Spoon remaining berries in center of top layer. Decorate edge with whipped cream.
- Refrigerate 1 hour.
- Melt remaining preserves and spoon over top of cake after slightly cooling, letting drip down the side.
- Refrigerate one hour more.

Surprised myself that I was able to get all fresh berries for this cake, although I will admit that the strawberries weren't the most flavorful! Still, this turned out to be one very, very nice tasting cake, & one that I look forward to making again later in the year! Many thanks!
