We found two recipes that fit your description. Hopefully, one of them will be close to what you are looking for. Both recipes are from women's magazines (Good Housekeeping and Redbook). Enjoy!

This first recipe uses strawberries and raspberries. It is a cream cake so you can always just use all raspberries.


Strawberry Cream Cake

INGREDIENTS
Cake
2 1/4 cup(s) cake flour, (not self-rising)
2 tablespoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
3/4 cup(s) milk
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
3/4 cup(s) (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
3 large eggs

Filling
1 pound(s) strawberries, hulled, sliced
1/4 cup(s) sugar
6 ounce(s) raspberries
1/2 cup(s) strawberry jam

Frosting
2 cup(s) heavy cream
1/4 cup(s) sour cream
1/4 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
1. Cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans. Line bottoms with waxed paper. Grease paper and flour pans, tapping out excess flour. Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl. Combine milk and vanilla in a glass measuring cup.
2. In a bowl, with an electric mixer on low speed, beat butter until creamy. Gradually beat in sugar. With mixer on medium speed, beat butter mixture 4 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, until well blended.
3. With mixer on low speed, beat in flour mixture in thirds, alternating with milk mixture, just until blended. Spoon batter into prepared pans and spread evenly. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean. Place pans on wire rack and cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around sides and invert cakes onto rack to cool completely.
4. Filling: Combine strawberries and sugar in a large bowl. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and juices form. Gently stir in raspberries.
5. Frosting: In a large bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat frosting ingredients until stiff.
6. Peel waxed paper off cake layers. Spread one cake layer with 1/4 cup of the jam. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the berry mixture over jam, spreading evenly. Spread with 3/4 cup of the frosting. Top with second cake layer. Spread with the remaining jam. Frost cake. Serve cake with the remaining berry mixture.

This second recipe has lemon in it. You didn't mention this in your description, so we weren't certain if this would be a good fit, but just in case...here is the recipe!


Raspberry-Lemon Cream Cake

**triple-tested at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute**

INGREDIENTS
2 ounce(s) cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoon(s) confectioners' sugar
1 cup(s) heavy whipping cream
1/4 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
1 (10 3/4-ounce) frozen all-butter pound cake, thawed
1/2 cup(s) prepared lemon curd
2 cup(s) raspberries
3 tablespoon(s) seedless raspberry jam
Lemon-peel strips, for garnish

DIRECTIONS
1. Prepare frosting: In large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add cream and vanilla; increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate frosting while assembling cake.
2. Assemble cake: Cut pound cake horizontally into 3 even slices. Place bottom slice on platter; spread with half of lemon curd. Reserve 1/2 cup raspberries for garnish. Arrange half of remaining raspberries over lemon curd. Spread 1 side of each remaining pound-cake slice with jam. Place 1 pound-cake slice, jam side down, over raspberry-topped cake. Repeat with remaining lemon curd, raspberries, and pound cake. Spread frosting over top and sides of cake. Cover cake loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
3. To serve, garnish cake with lemon peel and reserved raspberries. Use serrated knife to cut cake crosswise into slices.
