Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (cold)
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread with half the whipped cream and top with half the raspberries.
- Add the second cake layer, then spread remaining cream and top with the rest of the raspberries.
- Chill the cake for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure cakes are completely cool before adding whipped cream.
- Use cold mixing bowls for best whipped cream texture.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Swap raspberries with other berries like strawberries or blueberries.
