Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat 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 flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

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

  5. 5

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. 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 in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cakes

    Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Filling Preparation

  1. 8

    Make Cream Cheese Filling

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

  2. 9

    Whip Heavy Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

  3. 10

    Fold Together

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.

Assembly

  1. 11

    Layer the Cakes

    Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread half of the cream cheese filling on top.

  2. 12

    Add Chocolate Chips

    Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips over the cream cheese filling.

  3. 13

    Top with Second Layer

    Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the filling process with the remaining cream cheese filling and chocolate chips.

  4. 14

    Add Toppings

    Top the final layer with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, and fresh berries.

  5. 15

    Slice and Serve
