Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two 15cm (6 inch) round cake tins.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
-
Stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract. Fold in the flour until well combined. Add milk and mix until smooth.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake tins. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the tins for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream and icing sugar until it reaches soft peaks.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the top and arrange sliced strawberries and raspberries on top. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the cream and fruit layers.
-
Decorate with edible flowers for an extra touch of summer. Serve and enjoy!
