When I went to California a couple of years ago I made sure I visited a bunch of famous restaurants and bakeries. Sweet Lady Jane was one of the bakeries I visited and the triple berry cake they make was one of the most memorable cakes I’ve ever had. Not only was it delicious but it was so beautiful and had a homemade feel to it. I fell in love with the triple berry cake and of course, I ran home and baked this right away. I loved it. It’s definitely a summer cake. Make sure to use fresh berries and keep it in the fridge.
Look at all the berries!! I used strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Sweet Lady Jane bakery uses blackberries I believe but I’m not a fan of blackberries. Too many seeds can be annoying to eat.

This is my absolute favorite cake – I get it for birthdays and tried to get it for my wedding, but the whipped cream wouldn’t travel well. With my baby’s first birthday coming up, I thought I’d give this a try. The recipe is fantastic! Thank you so much. I did a practice cake today and it was delicious. Very similar in taste to Sweet Lady Jane’s.
We tried this recipe twice and both times were from good to very good. Thank you for bringing “Sweet Lady Jane” to our home in Vietnam.
I bought this from SLJ for my daughters biryhday ans everybody loved it! I will try to make this with your recipe. Do you know how many calories in the whole cake and what is its weight? Many thanks!
Hi Ray, unfortunately, I don’t have that information. Hope you give this a try anyway! Thank you so much for stopping by.
