Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
1/2 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cakes are completely cool, prepare the whipped cream. In a large bowl, beat heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the whipped cream over the top.
Arrange half of the fresh berries over the whipped cream.
Top with the second cake layer. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake.
Decorate with the remaining fresh berries.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature.
Do not overmix the cake batter, as this can result in a dry cake.
Ensure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
You can use any combination of fresh fruits you prefer.
Store leftover cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
