Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups (339g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 cups (570g) granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups (420g) sifted all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups whole milk, at room temperature
- 6 cups strawberries, chopped
- 2 ½ cups small blueberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, cold
- 2 ½ cups (592ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 ¼ cup (163g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5ml) pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease two 5×9” loaf pans generously.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one by one, ensuring each is fully mixed in before adding the next. Combine the vanilla extract with the last egg added.
- In another bowl, sift the flour and then measure 3 cups. Mix in the baking powder and salt. Gradually add half of the dry mixture and half of the milk to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. Then add the remaining flour and milk and mix until fully blended.
- Evenly divide the batter between the two greased loaf pans. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Note that baking times may vary.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for at least 30 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to release the loaves and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
This dessert can be assembled a few hours in advance and stored in the fridge.
Feel free to substitute the berries with your favorite fruits for a varied flavor.
Ensure the mascarpone and cream are cold for best whipping results.
