Pour into springform pan. Bake at 350° for 50–55 minutes. Cool and chill. Top with Strawberry-Raspberry Glaze, if desired, or for an easy topping, use 1 can cherry or blueberry pie filling.

Add remaining jelly, Cointreau, and water and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened and clear, 5–10 minutes. Cool to lukewarm, stirring occasionally. Arrange berries pointed end up all over top of cake. Spoon glaze over berries, allowing some to drip down sides of cake. Return to refrigerator until glaze is set.
