Method
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating 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 cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cake
- Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
- Decorate the top with mixed fresh fruits and edible flowers.
- Slice and serve the cake chilled.

Notes
For best results, use fresh, seasonal fruits and ensure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping.
