Method

Cake Preparation

  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, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add in the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Pour Batter into Pans

    Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cakes

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, remove from oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove from pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Filling Preparation

  1. 9

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and softened cream cheese. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  2. 10

    Add Fruit and Sugar

    Gently fold in the fresh fruit and powdered sugar into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Layer the Cake

    Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the filling mixture on top of the first layer.

  2. 12

    Add Second Layer

    Place the second cake layer on top of the filling. Spread the remaining filling on top of the second layer.

  3. 13

    Top with Whipped Cream

    Spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
