170 grams butter (room temperature, use grass fed if available) 170 grams caster sugar 3 large eggs, room temperature 170 grams self-raising flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream together butter and sugar, then add the eggs one at a time. Sift in self-raising flour and baking powder a little at a time and mix until well incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Bake at the centre of a preheated oven (350°F or 175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. I use a 20cm cake tin!
Whipped cream (35% fat) with 10% sugar (use 10 grams caster sugar for every 100 millilitres of cream). Whip until reaching stiff peaks.
Assembly:
Cut cake in half.
Spread a layer of raspberry jam on one half of the cake, then add a layer of the mascarpone filling. Frost with whipped cream.

Hbd! I imagine they taste as perfect as they look. Do you wash the berries and then dry?

I absolutely love when I see people making their own birthday cakes. In a world of people being so unsure of their importance it makes me happy to see people celebrating themselves.
Those cakes look amazing and happy birthday.

Pictured: chocolate fudge cake with an apricot filling and a cream cake with raspberry and mascarpone filling. Delicious!! 😄❤️
ETA: recipes!
The fudge cake was made using this recipe: https://addapinch.com/the-best-chocolate-cake-recipe-ever/ . I use a fan/convection oven, so I lowered the temperature to 325°F/160°C and kept it in for longer. Then, I spread chocolate buttercream (this recipe: https://addapinch.com/perfect-chocolate-buttercream-frosting-recipe/) on one half and added apricot jam. Then I used the remainder of the buttercream to frost the cake.
The cream cake is my own recipe:
Cake:
170 grams butter (room temperature, use grass fed if available)
170 grams caster sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
170 grams self-raising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cream together butter and sugar, then add the eggs one at a time. Sift in self-raising flour and baking powder a little at a time and mix until well incorporated. Add vanilla extract and mix well. Bake at the centre of a preheated oven (350°F or 175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. I use a 20cm cake tin!
Filling:
250 grams mascarpone
6 tbsp icing sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tbsp whisked(!) whipped cream
Frosting:
Whipped cream (35% fat) with 10% sugar (use 10 grams caster sugar for every 100 millilitres of cream). Whip until reaching stiff peaks.
Assembly:
Cut cake in half.
Spread a layer of raspberry jam on one half of the cake, then add a layer of the mascarpone filling. Frost with whipped cream.
