Step 5: Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Start and end with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed to avoid overmixing, which could make the cake dense.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 7: Prepare the Creamy Filling
While the cake cools, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy filling.
Step 8: Assemble the Cake
Once the cake layers are fully cooled, place one layer on your serving plate. Spread a generous amount of the cream filling evenly over the top. Carefully place the second layer on top and lightly press down.
Step 9: Add the Topping
Whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form and spread or pipe over the top layer. Decorate with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or toasted coconut for a visually stunning finish.
Step 10: Chill and Serve
For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before slicing. Each bite will offer a perfect balance of soft sponge, creamy filling, and a fresh, fruity burst.
Tips for Perfection
- Ensure all ingredients are room temperature; this makes the batter smoother.
- Don’t overmix the batter to keep the sponge light and airy.
- Decorate just before serving for the freshest appearance.
