200g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp milk

When your mixture is nice and smooth you will add your milk, flour & baking powder. Mix this until everything is well combined. (Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure that everything is mixed well)
Grease and line two 7-inch cake tins with non-stick cooking spray and parchment paper.
Divide your batter evenly among the two tins.
Bake your cakes for about 20 minutes at 175°C until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean.
When your cakes are baked remove from the pan and place them on a cooling rack until they cool completely.
Meanwhile for the filling: In a big mixing bowl add your cream and icing sugar. Mix using a hand mixer on high until stiff peaks.
Assemply: (watch me decorate it HERE)Prepare your chopped fruits and nuts if using and set your first layer of cake on your dish. The add about half of your frosting and smooth it out, place on your fruits and then add your second layer of cake and cover the cake in frosting.
You can now be creative and decorate it however you want.
Chill for 2 hours! Serve with some more fresh fruits and you can even pipe some frosting on top if you want it to be more fancy.
Chill for 1 hour and serve!
