Lemon Berry Christmas Cake with Creamy Lemon Frosting

2. Make the Lemon-Blackberry Filling

1. Beat the cream cheese and butter for 2–3 minutes.The mixture should become smooth and creamy, forming the base of a silky filling.
2. Add the powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.A light, cloud-like texture helps the filling spread easily.
3. Add the lemon juice.This adds brightness that complements the berry flavors.
4. Fold in the crushed berries with a spatula.The berries add color, moisture, and little bursts of fruitiness.

3. Lemon Frosting

1. Beat the butter and cream cheese for 3 minutes.Whipping until airy ensures a smooth, spreadable frosting.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar.This controls the texture and sweetness while preventing lumps.
3. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.Fresh zest enhances the frosting’s citrus aroma without thinning its texture.
4. If the consistency is too thick, you can add 1 tablespoon of cream or milk.Add slowly to avoid making the frosting too loose.
