If you aren't sure about the difference, you can read all about the <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-types-of-chocolate-for-baking\/\">types of chocolate used in baking<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oil<\/strong>: Use a neutral, flavourless oil like canola oil. Olive oil would impart more flavour unless you use a light olive oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vinegar<\/strong>: You need the vinegar to activate the baking soda. You can use regular white vinegar or even apple cider vinegar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milk<\/strong>: I use cow's milk (sometimes skim or low-fat milk, but use up to 3.25 % fat to create a more moist cake). You can also replace this with non-dairy milk, like oat milk or soy milk with great results!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt<\/strong>: I bake with <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Diamond Crystal Fine Kosher Salt\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Yg6ygA\" data-linkid=\"40340\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Diamond Crystal Fine Kosher salt.<\/a> If using regular table salt, add half the amount or the cake may be too salty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cream cheese<\/strong>: Use full-fat Philadelphia cream cheese if you can. I prefer the taste and texture of this cheese. Use the block form of cream cheese. <strong>Do not use whipped or spreadable cream cheese.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>: Use unsalted butter for the frosting preferably because cream cheese is already bringing a lot of salt to the recipe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Berries<\/strong>: Use whatever is in season (or on sale). I love to combine strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, but you can also try red currants, blackberries, or even gooseberries. You can keep the stems on many of these for a more whimsical look. In the winter months, you can top this cake with chocolate curls or even slices of orange. And if all else fails, you can always sprinkle liberally with sprinkles!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please see the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-make-this-berry-cake\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Make This Berry Cake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This dark chocolate cake starts with an <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/egg-less-chocolate-cake-with-a-ganache-glaze\/\">eggless chocolate cake recipe<\/a>, which is baked in three pans and layered with <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/thick-cream-cheese-frosting\/\">thick cream cheese frosting<\/a> and fresh berries.

If you've cut into the cake, just cover the cut edges with pieces of parchment to prevent them from drying out. Place the cake in the fridge until the frosting is firm and cold, then cover the whole thing with aluminum foil. You can store this cake for up to a week, or freeze slices for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take the cake out of the fridge at least 30\u201360 minutes before serving to give time for the frosting to soften. For a detailed explanation, read about <a href=\"https:\/\/bakeschool.com\/how-to-store-cake\/\">how to store cake<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"more-chocolate-recipes\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\">More
