Chantilly cake is a layer cake filled with berries and chantilly cream (a type of sweetened whipped cream). It is popular in the Southern United States.[1]
One well-known version of berry Chantilly cake was designed by baker Chaya Conrad while working at a Whole Foods in New Orleans in 2005.[2] [3] Over the years, and while working for different bakeries, Conrad has changed the recipe many times. She includes mascarpone cheese in the whipped cream.
A 19th-century variation used a cake made with rice flour, filled it with jam and custard instead of fresh berries, and topped it with chantilly cream.[4] This version was also called trifle cake, after trifle.
