Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble the Torta
- Once the cake is completely cool, slice it in half horizontally to create two layers.
- Spread the whipped cream over the bottom layer, then add the fresh fruits and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
- Place the second layer on top and spread more whipped cream on top.
- Decorate with chocolate shavings and garnish with fresh mint.
