This recipe is for adults age 21+ as it contains alcohol. This summer sangria cake recipe is sponsored by Dixie Crystals, Adam's Extract, and Wilton. This is a great cake to have at your next get together or bbq. It's a made from scratch sponge cake with each layer infused with sangria sauce and topped with homemade fruity whipped cream. The fun thing about this sangria cake recipe is you can use whatever fruits you want. Today I used peaches, strawberries, cherries, raspberries, and blackberries. All of the many flavors that I enjoy in my sangria.

Summer Sangria Cake

Sangria Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
Sponge Cake-
6 eggs
1 cup Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Adam's Extract vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Whipped Cream-
1 cup of fruit of your choosing
2 cups heavy cream
⅓ cup Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Adam's Extract vanilla extract
8 oz. cream cheese; softened
1 cup of white chocolate chips; melted
1 & ½ cups Dixie Crystals confectioner's sugar
Cake Filling-
6 cups sliced and diced berries/fruits
1 cup sangria wine

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line (2) 8 inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. For the sponge cake- in a large bowl (I use my KitchenAid stand mixer), combine the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract and mix on high for about 8 minutes or until the eggs are almost white in color.
3. Combine the dry ingredients through a sifter and add it in small amounts to the egg batter.
4. Gently fold in the flour making sure to reach the bottom of the bowl not leaving clumps of flour in the bottom to get dumped out on the top of your cake batter.
5. Divide the sponge cake batter in to the two prepared cake pans and bake for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans. Once the cakes are cooled completely you can use a serrated knife to slice each cake in half creating 4 total cake layers.
6. Make the berry/fruit sauce next to give it time to chill while you work on the whipped cream. Combine the 1 cup of berries/fruits that you choose with the sugar. Using a spoon you'll want to crush the sliced/diced berries/fruits and stir bringing the pot to a simmer for 5 minutes. Strain the fruit mixture over a bowl to separate the fruit pieces from the liquid. Place the bowl of liquid in the fridge to chill.

7. Making the whipped cream- add the cold heavy cream and Dixie Crystal's confectioner's sugar to a large mixing bowl. Whisk on medium for 2-3 minutes and then whisk on high 3-4 minutes or until stiff peaks start to form.
8. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and the vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the melted white chocolate chips and mix until well combined.Add the chilled berry/fruit sauce last and whisk again until well combined.
9. Add the cheese and berry/fruit mix to the whipped cream and gently mix for 20 seconds. Use immediately or keep refrigerated until you are ready to frost the sponge cake.
10. Soak the tops of each sponge cake layer with the sangria wine. Top the layer with fruit and some of the whipped cream. Repeat all layers.

11. Frost the side and top of the cake with the remaining whipped cream. I used a Wilton all in one disposable decorating bag with tip to add some extra whipped cream decoration to the top of the cake along with a handful of my fruit/berry variety. Let the cake chill in the fridge at least an hour or even as long as over night to allow the flavors to really soak in to the sponge cake. Enjoy!
