# Instructions:
01 -
Turn the oven to 350°F (177°C). Coat two 8 or 9-inch cake pans lightly with grease, then add a dusting of flour. Mix all dry stuff first, then rub in butter until the mixture feels crumbly. Stir wet ingredients together separately, then combine with dry mix until there are no lumps.
02 -
Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 28-32 minutes. Use a toothpick to check—if it comes out clean, you're ready. Allow cakes to fully cool in pans while resting on wire racks.
03 -
Whisk the cream on high speed with sugar and vanilla until it’s thick and holds its shape (stiff peaks). Put aside for now.
04 -
Gently blend the berries together in a bowl. Stir 1 cup of whipped cream in carefully to cover the berries.
05 -
Blend sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and cream until it becomes one uniform liquid.
06 -
Build layers by soaking cake with milk mixture, spreading the berry mix, and finishing with whipped cream. Chill in the fridge for no less than 2 hours before enjoying.
