Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk
• 300 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 200 grams Fresh raspberries
• 4 tablespoons Raspberry jam
• 1 tablespoon Icing sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and line two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Sift the flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

While the cakes cool, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

To assemble, place one sponge layer on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the top, followed by half of the whipped cream, and then scatter half of the fresh raspberries over the cream.

Step 10

Place the second sponge layer on top and repeat with a layer of raspberry jam, the remaining whipped cream, and the rest of the raspberries.

Step 11

Dust the top of the cake with icing sugar for decoration.

Step 12

Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to help it set. Slice and enjoy!
