Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
6 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch cake pans with grease and parchment paper.
Step 2: Beat egg yolks with half the sugar until pale and thick, then stir in melted butter and vanilla.
Step 3: Whip egg whites to stiff peaks with the remaining sugar and gently fold into the yolk mixture.
Step 4: Fold in the sifted flour and baking powder, then bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Step 5: Cool the cakes completely, then layer with whipped cream and fresh berries before serving.
Notes
Ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping for the best stability.
