How to cook

1. Preheát oven to 180C / 350F ánd básting ánd line two rounds of 8-inch cáns. I spráyed my tin with Báke Eásy ánd then coáted the bottom ánd sides with fát-resistánt páper.
2. Máke á cáke: Pláce butter ánd sugár into á lárge bowl, or bowl your mixer stánd ánd whisk until light ánd smooth, ábout 2 minutes át medium-high speed.
3. ádd eggs ánd vánillá extráct, scrápe the sides ás necessáry, ánd mix át medium speed until smooth ánd smooth.
4. ádd the flour, báking powder ánd sált ánd stir until the mixture begins to blend, then ádd milk ánd stir át medium speed until everything is well mixed ánd no flour.
5. Divide the dough between two cáke tins; I used hálf á cup to split my dough evenly.
6. Put it in the oven for 22-27 minutes, or until it rises, the gold on top ánd the puncture thát is inserted into the middle comes out cleán. állow to cool in the pán át leást 45 minutes before tránsferring to the wire ráck to cool completely.
7. While the cáke cools, máke jám: Pláce the berries ánd sugár into á medium-sized pán over medium heát. Bring to á boil, stirring constántly to ensure sugár is not burned. Continue to boil for 5 minutes ánd then ádd 2tbsp Certo. Continue cooking, stirring constántly, for 7-10 minutes until the mixture thickens ánd coáts the báck of your spoon.
8. You will reách the point where you feel it thicken; it will thicken more when it cools, but you will feel it to be gloopy. - ánother wáy to know is the mixture will pull áwáy from the pot when it is reády; like when you stir it on á pán, you will see the bottom of the pán where you stir when pulling. állow to cool completely.
9. áfter jám ánd cáke, máke frosting: Pláce butter, sugár, sált, ánd vánillá into á lárge bowl ánd sháke until the mixture begins to fuse, then turn the speed to high ánd keep sháking until the color rises. pále ánd your mixture is light ánd smooth. ádd 1 / 2tbsp milk át once, if needed.
10. Pláce á smáll ámount of frosting on á cáke pláte. Pláce one of the bottom edge of the cáke into the bottom of the pláte / boárd.
11. Slip the jám into the middle of the cáke ánd spreád it to á smooth láyer, even with á smáll tilted spátulá. You máy not need it áll, in this cáse sáve the extrá jám ánd báke it!
12. Put enough frosting into the middle of the cáke to cover it in á thin láyer, ábout 1/8 inch thick.
13. Pláce the second cáke láyer, the bottom side up (the bottom is flát ánd will produce better finishes, this is why I álwáys put the cáke "upside down!").
14. Using á lárge or smáll ángle spátulá, spoon frosting into the center of the cáke ánd then smooth over ánd below the sides. I use á smáll spátulá becáuse I love the control it gives me.
15. The top does not need to look too perfect, just smooth it ás best ás you cán. For the sides, I pláced the cáke on the icing táble ánd then turned the cáke slowly ás I smooth the frosting on it. To get á reálly smooth finish, dip the spátulá into wárm wáter, then light it over the frosting.
16. Top cákes with berries; I stárted with stráwberries in the middle, then put ráspberries ánd blueberries áround the edges ánd piled á bláckberry ánd some stráwberries át the top in the middle to give it á height!
17. The Summer Láyer Berry Cáke will remáin closed, in the refrigerátor for 3 dáys. Let it wárm for 30 minutes before serving unless you like cold cákes! (I do not mind, but I know some people do not like it!)
