Ingredients

Scale

Sponge Cake Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 g) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (120 ml) milk

Whipped Cream Filling Ingredients

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, chilled
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Fruit Layers

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (some halved, some whole for topping)
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup blackberries
  • ½ cup strawberry jam (or mixed berry jam)

Decoration Ingredients

  • Fresh strawberries and blueberries
  • Whipped cream swirls
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Edible gold sprinkles (optional)
  • A drizzle of strawberry syrup or honey

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, alternating with milk, until fully combined. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely before assembling.
  2. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream will be used for both the filling and to cover the cake.
  3. Assemble the Cake: Carefully slice each cooled cake layer in half horizontally to create four thin cake layers. Place the first sponge layer on your serving plate, spread an even layer of whipped cream over it, then add a layer of blackberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Add the second sponge layer and repeat, spreading whipped cream, arranging halved strawberries along the edge, and filling the middle with blueberries. Continue stacking the remaining layers in the same manner. Finally, cover the entire outside of the cake with the remaining whipped cream.
  4. Decorate: Arrange whole strawberries and blueberries atop the cake. Using a piping bag, pipe decorative whipped cream swirls around the edges. Lightly dust the cake with powdered sugar and add edible gold sprinkles for a touch of elegance, if desired. Finish by drizzling strawberry syrup or honey over the sides for a glossy, beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the heavy cream is well chilled to achieve the best whipped cream texture.
  • For best results, slice the cake layers evenly using a serrated knife or a cake leveler.
  • You can substitute strawberry jam with mixed berry jam for a varied flavor.
  • Decorate just before serving to keep the whipped cream fresh and prevent melting.
  • Store the cake in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cake, reduce the powdered sugar in the whipped cream filling.
