Method

Cake Layers

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter, mixing until well combined.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Milk

    Gradually add milk to the mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.

  6. 6

    Bake the Layers

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Filling

  1. 8

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  2. 9

    Fold in Whipped Cream

    Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Assembly and Topping

  1. 10

    Layer the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the cream cheese filling over the first layer.

  2. 11

    Add Second Layer

    Place the second cake layer on top of the filled first layer.

  3. 12

    Top with Remaining Filling

    Spread the remaining cream cheese filling over the top of the second layer.

  4. 13

    Add Berries and Mint

    Garnish the top with fresh berries and mint leaves as desired.

  5. 14

    Chill and Serve

    Refrigerate the torta for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set.
