Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two round cake pans by greasing them and dusting with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
  3. Cream 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add in 3 large eggs one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  5. Alternately mix in 1 cup of milk and the dry mixture until just combined.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of chopped strawberries and 1 cup of diced mango.
  7. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Whip 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  10. Assemble the cake by frosting the first layer with cream and fruit, then repeat with the second layer.
  11. Chill the assembled cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
