Chantilly cake

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. One well-known version of berry chantilly cake was designed by baker Chaya Conrad while working at a Whole Foods in New Orleans in 2002 or 2005. Her original inspiration was a recipe from her grandmother. Over the years, and while working for different bakeries, Conrad has changed the recipe many times. At Whole Foods, she used a yellow cake, and at the bakery she opened later, she uses a white cake. She includes mascarpone cheese in the whipped cream. The cake has been described as a cult favorite. In 2024, Whole Foods attempted to standardize the cake across all of its stores.
