Ingredients
for the cake layers
- 3 cups cake/all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups plain Greek yoghurt
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1½ cups caster sugar
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
for the mascarpone whipped cream
- 250 ml whipping/heavy cream
- 1 cup icing sugar/powdered sugar sifted
- 1 cup mascarpone room temperature and softened
Berries
- 3 cups fresh berries of your choice
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F and grease and line three 20cm/7.8inch diameter cake pans with parchment paper.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool before turning out onto a wire rack. Make sure the layers are completely cool before assembling the cake.
- To make the mascarpone whipped cream, whip the cold cream with the icing/powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Add the softened mascarpone and whip to stiff peaks.
- Whipped cream tip: Whipping cream on a slow speed will ensure the air bubbles forming are small and more stable. Often when cream is whipped at a high speed the cream will deflate sooner because the larger air bubbles collapse quicker.
- To assemble the cake, sandwich the cake layers together with the whipped cream and add berries.
- Serve immediately.
