Triple Berry Pressed Pound Cake

Ingredients

4 cups Triple Berry Fruit Blend (Fresh or frozen Blueberry, Blackberry, Raspberry)
1 stick butter + more to grease casserole pan
1 cup granulated sugar
1 orange, zest and juiced
3 tablespoons orange liquor (such as Grand Marnier)
2 prepared pound cakes, crust removed and sliced

Garnish

Triple Berry Coulis
Heaving Whipping Cream
Fresh mint for garnish

Instructions

To Cook Berries: In a medium sauce pan place mixed berries, butter, sugar, orange zest, orange juice, orange liquor. Over medium heat bring berries to low boil until all fruit is tender about 10 - 15 minutes. Allow fruit to cool. Remove about 1.5 cups of fruit mixture. Transfer 1.5 cups to blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into squeeze bottle for coulis topping.
To Make Pressed Pound Cake: Meanwhile slice crust off pound cakes. Then slice into ½ inch thick slices. Grease casserole dish with butter then line casserole dish with pound cake. Make sure to squeeze slices tightly together to form a tight fitting layer. Pour remaining mixed berry mixture over pound cake. Then top with sliced pound cake. Pressing slices tightly to form a full layer. Cover pound cake with foil. Then weigh down with a heavy flat plate. Add bricks wrapped in foil as extra weight to help press layers together. You want to make sure it is covered evenly to form a uniform shaped cake. Store in refrigerator for 24 hours.
To Make Whipped Cream topping: I normally use 2 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste, and 1 cup whipping cream. Beat until peaks form. Do not over whip. (I used vanilla bean paste instead of vanilla extract. I wanted the tiny vanilla beans.)
