Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sugar (to taste)
For the Topping
- Fresh seasonal fruits (such as strawberries, blueberries, peaches, and kiwis)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar to taste and continue beating until stiff peaks form. This fluffy whipped cream will be the perfect topping for your cake.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top. Arrange your choice of fresh fruits over the whipped cream, creating a beautiful and colorful display.
Notes
- Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for better mixing.
- Mix the batter just until combined to achieve a tender cake.
- For perfectly whipped cream, chill your mixing bowl and beaters beforehand.
- Always opt for the freshest seasonal fruits for the best flavor and presentation.
- Consider layering the cake with whipped cream and fruit for a more decadent treat.
