- To make the cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
- Grease a 10 inch bundt pan with butter or baking spray. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla and lemon zest together on high speed until fluffy and pale yellow, about 5 minutes.
- Lower the speed to low and add in the Olive Oil and lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Alternate adding in the dry ingredients with the milk ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until all the dry ingredients are absorbed. Do not over mix.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35-45 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then transfer to a plate to cool completely.
- To make the cream cheese whipped cream:
- Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to a bowl. Using an hand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form.
- Add the heavy cream and vanilla to another bowl and beat on high speed until soft peaks form.
- Add in the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream and beat on medium speed until creamy, 1-2 minutes.
To make the soak:
- In a bowl combine the limoncello and water. Mix until combined.
- *if you want a stronger or weaker limoncello flavor, you may adjust the quantities as desired.
To assemble the cake:
- Once the cake has cooled, slice it in half and brush each of the cut sides with the limoncello mixture.
- Place the bottom half of the cake cut side up onto a serving plate and dollop the cream cheese whipped cream on top. Add the cherries and strawberries in syrup and drizzle the syrup as desired.
- Place the top of the cake, cut side down on top and full the center with fresh berries. Dust with confectioners sugar.
