Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.

- Once the cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into two layers.
- Place one layer on a serving plate and spread half of the whipped cream over it.
- Top with half of the fresh fruit, then place the second layer of cake on top.
- Spread the remaining whipped cream on top and decorate with the remaining fruit.
