Ingredients
  

  •  

For the Cake Base:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

For the Frosting:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Toppings:

  • 2 cups fresh mixed berries strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
  • Mint leaves for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  •  

Prepare the Cake Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

Make the Whipped Cream Frosting:

  • Chill a mixing bowl and beaters for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • Combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in the chilled bowl. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.

Assemble the Cake:

  • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of whipped cream over it.
  • Top with a layer of fresh mixed berries.
  • Add the second cake layer and repeat the process. Frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Decorate the top with additional fresh berries and mint leaves.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour before serving for best results.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Whip the cream just until stiff peaks form to prevent it from separating.
  • Use fresh, seasonal berries for the best flavor.
