For the Fruit Filling:

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-

inch round cake pans.

2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and

salt.

3. In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick

and pale, about 5 minutes.

4. Stir in oil, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

5. Fold in the dry ingredients gently until fully combined.

6. Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for

20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out

clean.

7. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to

wire racks to cool completely.

8. In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered

sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Keep chilled.

9. Toss the sliced peaches, blueberries, and raspberries in

lemon juice and honey. Set aside.

10. Mix crushed biscuits with melted butter and sugar.

Toast in a dry pan for 3–4 minutes until golden and let

cool.

11. To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate.

Spread half of the whipped cream over the layer.

12. Add half of the mixed fruit, arranging evenly.

13. Place the second cake layer on top and spread

remaining whipped cream generously.

14. Sprinkle crumb topping over the entire surface and

sides. Decorate with extra peach slices, berries, and mint.

15. Chill for 1 hour before slicing for a clean, set finish.
