Method
 

Prepare the Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a cake pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting
  1. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cake
  1. Once the cake is completely cooled, spread the whipped frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
  2. Decorate the top with mixed fresh fruits and edible flowers for a beautiful presentation.
  3. Slice and serve the cake chilled or at room temperature.
