Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two round cake pans by greasing and flouring them or lining with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then incorporate the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the milk and dry ingredient mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing gently.
- Fold in the fresh strawberries and diced mango gently.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
- While the cakes cool, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar.
- Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a plate, frosting it, adding fresh fruit, then topping with the second layer and frosting the entire cake.
- Slice and serve with extra fresh fruit or cream if desired.

Notes
For best results, use room temperature eggs and avoid over-mixing the batter. Chill the frosted cake for cleaner slices.
