  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Fresh seasonal fruits strawberries, blueberries, etc.

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare Your Pan: Grease and flour your round cake pans (two 9-inch pans work perfectly).
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  4. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and light in color.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Blend in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Add Toppings: Once cooled, layer your cakes, adding fresh fruits and glaze between the layers and on top. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  11. Slice and Serve: Cut yourself a generous slice and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
