Instructions
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 23-centimeter (9-inch) round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Beat them together until they are light and fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes.
Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the milk and vanilla extract into the mixture, ensuring everything is fully blended.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cake's texture.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 2
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Afterward, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, you can prepare your decorating cream. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Step 3
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of the whipped cream on top, and if desired, add layers of fresh fruits or chocolate shavings.
Carefully place the second layer on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream. You can use a spatula for a smooth finish or create swirls for a fun look.
For an extra special touch, decorate the top with additional fruits, chocolate shavings, and edible flowers. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to set the layers.
Your delicious biscuit cake is now ready to be enjoyed, perfect for any celebration!

Variations
Faq
- What if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough is sticky, try adding a little more flour, but do so gradually to avoid making it too dry. Also, chilling it in the fridge for 30 minutes can help make it easier to handle.
- How can I tell when my pastries are done baking?
Your pastries should be a lovely golden color and should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. A reliable indicator is the aroma filling your kitchen – once you smell that delightful scent, it’s a good sign!
- Can I make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it?
Yes, absolutely! You can prepare the dough in advance, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before rolling it out.
- What tips do you have for filling pastries to avoid leakage?
Make sure to seal the edges properly by pressing down with a fork or your fingers. Also, avoid overfilling, as this can cause the filling to leak during baking.
- How do I achieve a flaky texture in my pastry?
Cold ingredients are key! Ensure your butter and water are chilled. Mixing quickly and avoiding overworking the dough will also contribute to a fabulous flaky texture.
- Can I freeze my pastries after baking?
Definitely! Allow them to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to three months. Just pop them into the oven to warm up when you’re ready to indulge!
