Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Prepare your favorite plain vanilla cake recipe or use a prepared box and follow its instructions.
- Using the back of a wooden spoon, poke at least 3 rows of 4 holes in the cooked cake, making 12 holes total.
- In a large bowl, mash the strawberries with a potato masher or fork until mashed to a pulp.
- Add the cream cheese and condensed milk, whisking until there are no large lumps.
- Add the mashed blackberries and raspberries; stir just once or twice so the colors remain differentiated.
- Pour the mixture over the cake and let settle into the holes for about 10 minutes. Some of the mixture will still stay on top, which is okay.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cake. Sprinkle graham crackers on top and add sliced strawberries or other fresh berries.
- Chill the cake for at least 3 hours or up to overnight.
- Enjoy!
