Method
Base Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures an even baking temperature.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted unsalted butter until smooth.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Bake the Base
Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Base
Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Combine Filling
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
Assembly
Spread the Filling
Once the base is completely cool, spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the top.
Add Berries
Top the cream cheese layer with fresh berries, distributing them evenly.
Garnish
Garnish with mint leaves for a fresh touch. Cut into squares to serve.
