    Puree 3/4 cup quartered berries with 2 tablespoons sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar in processor. Pour puree into large bowl. Add remaining berries and toss to coat.

    Step 4

    Arrange 3 thin cake slices on each of 6 plates. Spoon berry mixture alongside. Top with sabayon and serve.
