Instructions
Berry Me Naked Cake
  1. Preheat over to 350. Grease and flour (3) 8 x 8 square baking pans.
  2. Use a measuring cup add 2/3 cup pecans into each baking pan and sprinkle evenly. Set aside
  3. In a mixer or large mixing bowl, blend butter and sugar well
  4. Add in flour and slowly blend to the batter until mixed well.
  5. Add in eggs one at a time and blend. Scrape sides as needed.
  6. Add in cream cheese and almond flavoring to batter. Blend well.
  7. The batter will need to be added evenly to the baking pans. I typically will use a 1 cup measuring spoon to scoop one cup of batter and add to each pan. Then I repeat this process until all batter has been added. When the batter is a smaller amount I will only fill up the cup half way.
  8. Use a fork to gently spread out the batter evenly in the pan. Start from the center and work towards the edges to evenly divide this thick batter. Once all pans have been spread properly, bang baking pan on the counter to even out and release any air bubbles.
  9. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes. Remove and allow to cook. Once cooled run a sharp knife along the edges to release cake on all three pans.
  10. Place cake plate on top of one baking pan, flip while holding cake plate and pan. Pecans will now be on the top of the cake. Add 1/3 of filling and spread onto each cake.
  11. Add the next layer of cake and 1/3 filling. Repeat with final layer of cake. Decorate with berries as desired
Filling
  1. In a small bowl, add St Germain or vanilla. Slice strawberries and chop into small pieces. Do not mash. Stir well.
  2. Into the strawberries add the cream cheese and confectioner sugar and stir by hand. Divide the filling into 3 to be added to each cake layer.
Berry Decorating
  1. Strawberries look like small hearts with stems removed and sliced. Fiqure out what type of pattern you want to use on the cake. Since the cake is square start in the middle. With one berry showing the outer layer I added to the middle. Then I attached two hearts side by side. Then I alternated matching strawberry size working out from the center. I added blueberries as needed on the pattern. Be creative and add as you desire.
  2. Note: Prepare the cake ahead of time and store in refrigerator. Keep cool prior to serving.
