Prep 10 m Cook 30 m Ready In 2 h


1. To prepare cake layers: Butter the bottom and sides of two 9-inch
round cake pans; line the bottoms with parchment paper. Preheat
oven to 350F.
2. Combine milk and 4 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Heat over
low heat until the butter is just melted. Set the pan aside.
3. Stir flour and baking powder together, then sift onto a piece of
parchment paper.
4. Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl by hand to combine, then whisk in salt.
Whisk in sugar in a stream, then whisk in vanilla. Then, using a hand-
held electric mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip
the mixture on medium-high speed until lighter in color and very light
and fluffy in texture, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer or 5 minutes
with a hand mixer.
5. Gently whisk in the warm milk mixture by hand. Add the flour mixture
in 4 additions, lifting the parchment paper to help you sprinkle it in.
Use the whisk as you would a rubber spatula to fold the flour into the
liquid, gently whisking to incorporate each time. Divide the batter
between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
6. Bake in the center of the oven until golden and firm when touched in
the center, about 20 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a wire racks for
10 minutes.
7. Run a sharp paring knife around the layers to loosen, then invert the
pans onto the racks. Immediately turn the layers over so they cool
with the paper on the bottom. Let cool completely.
8. To frost and decorate cake: Wash berries and thoroughly pat dry.
Halve any large berries. Gently combine in a bowl.
9. Whip cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until starting to
thicken. Add sugar and vanilla extract (or paste) and continue
whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in yogurt.
10. Place one cake layer on a platter and spread 1 cup of the cream
mixture on top. Spread half the berries over the cream, to within inch
of the edge. Top with the second cake layer.
11. Using an offset spatula, fill the gap between the two layers with
cream mixture so the sides are flush. Spread the top and sides of the
cake with the remaining cream mixture. Spread the remaining frosting
over the top and around the sides. Spoon the remaining berries on the
top, mounding them slightly in the center. Dust with confectioners'
sugar just before serving, if desired.
