directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Cook over low heat, just until gelatin melts. Cool.

Step 2

In the large bowl of a stand mixer, beat cream, mascarpone and sugar until firm peaks form. Reduce heat to low, and scrape in gelatin. Mix on low, just until combined.

Step 3

To assemble:
Cut cake into three layers. Place the bottom layer on a cake plate or serving platter. Spread half the cream over the layer, and top with 1/3 of the mixed berries. Repeat with second layer. Place top layer on cake and sprinkle on remaining berries. Dust with icing sugar, and garnish with mint sprig.

Step 4

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
