4. Reduce the diameter of the cake layers by the size of the berries. Press with a lid and trim the layers with a knife. Line the removable mold with plastic wrap. Place the first cake layer in the center, moistening it with raspberry and mixed berry purée. Spread whipped cream (whipped with powdered sugar) and cream cheese on top. Then distribute the purée so that all three layers are moistened, but spread the whipped cream only on the first and second layers.
