Instructions

Apply oil to your cake tin and set it aside .
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C
In a bowl , mix together all of your dry ingredients .
Add in all your wet ingredients in another bowl and once mixed well , start by pouring in the liquid into the dry flour mix .
Mix well until the batter has no lumps .
Also , keep in mind that we are making a two layered cake . So you will have to make two cakes of the same kind .
I would suggest that you mix the batters for two cakes differently , just so that your batter will be well incorporared and you won't have a hard time mixing it .
Let the cakes bake for about 30-35 mins .
While the cakes are baking , chop up some of your fruits into bite sized pieces to put them in betweem the two layers .
Leave some fruits aside for decorating .
Next , in another deep bowl , pour in your heavy cream along with other ingredients and whisk until you get stiff peaks .
Finally , let the whipped cream sit in the fridge .
Take your cakes out , remove them from the pans and let them cool completely .
After that , take a cake and put a thin layer of whipped cream onto it . Secure a lot of fruits on the whipped cream . This way you can ensure that the fruits can stay put while you cut into it .
Put the other cake on top of this layer . And gently push it down so that it stays intact .
As an optional step , let this huge cake rest in the fridge for about 5 mins or so just so that the cream stays stiff .
Take the cake out and you are ready to decorate it .
Cover the entire cake with whipped cream .
Top it with a lot of fruits that you had kept earlier .
To make it more lovely , I decided to add a handful of tutti frutti . Children love it too , so it is a plus point .
