Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

  • 1 box white cake mix or homemade recipe for sponge cake
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar for whipped cream

For the Topping (optional):

  • Fresh berries like strawberries or raspberries
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. Prepare the cake mix as per package instructions, mixing eggs, water, oil, and vanilla extract. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Make the Filling:

  • While the cake is baking, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.

Assemble the Cake:

  • Once the cake has cooled, slice each layer in half horizontally to create four thinner layers. Place the first cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of the cream filling, then add another layer of cake. Repeat until all layers are stacked.

Frost and Garnish:

  • Cover the entire cake with the remaining filling. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves.

Chill and Serve:

  • Chill the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese in the filling.
  • This cake pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea.
  • If desired, you can add a layer of fruit jam between the cake layers for extra sweetness.
