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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cakes

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Filling Preparation

    Prepare Cream Cheese Filling

    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined.

  2. 9

    Add Heavy Cream and Vanilla

    Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until light and fluffy.

  3. 10

    Incorporate Fresh Fruit

    Fold the chopped fresh fruit into the filling mixture gently.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 11

    Layer the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter or cake stand.

  2. 12

    Spread the Filling

    Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling over the first layer of cake.

  3. 13

    Add Second Layer

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

  4. 14

    Top with Whipped Cream

  5. 15
