• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup milk

For the Filling:

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese

For the Fruit Layers:

• 2-3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
• 1 cup fresh raspberries

For Garnish:

• Fresh mint leaves
• Powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake Layers:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
   • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Cream Filling:
   • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
   • Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until well combined and smooth.
3. Assemble the Cake:
   • Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the cream filling over the cake.
   • Arrange the peach slices and raspberries over the cream filling.
   • Place the second cake layer on top and repeat with another layer of cream filling, peaches, and raspberries.
   • Top the cake with additional raspberries and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
4. Finish and Serve:
   • Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
   • Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
   • Slice and serve the cake chilled, and enjoy the refreshing combination of peaches, raspberries, and creamy filling.
