METHOD

1. In a mixing bowl, add the butter and sugar and mix with an electric mixer. Add the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one by one, continuing to mix. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, and mix to combine.

2. Pour the prepared mixture into the cake mold (22cm mold size) and transfer to the oven. Bake at 180°C/360°F for 40 minutes.

3. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup by mixing together the milk, fresh cream, and condensed milk.

4. Once the cake is out of the oven, while it is still hot, prick it with a skewer. Pour the syrup with the three milks starting from the outside and then move toward the center. Cover with kitchen foil and refrigerate for 4 hours.

5. Add the fresh cream and powdered sugar to a bowl and whip it with an electric mixer. Fill a piping bag.

6. Pipe tufts of whipped cream to decorate the cake and arrange fresh berries. Cut a slice and serve.
