Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing them with butter and dusting with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and milk.
  3. Add the creamed mixture to the dry ingredients, ensuring a smooth batter. Then, add eggs and vanilla extract; beat for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  5. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form, then add vanilla extract and mix briefly.
  7. Assemble the cake by layering one cake on a platter, spreading frosting followed by fresh berries, and adding the second layer.
  8. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream frosting.
  9. Top with additional fresh berries and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
  10. Slice and serve to enjoy the delightful layers.
