Steps:
- Cake:Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and two 6-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment; butter parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another large bowl, whisk together oil, egg yolks, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds. Whisk egg-yolk mixture into flour mixture.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Whisk one-third of egg white mixture into batter. Gently but thoroughly fold in remaining egg-white mixture with a rubber spatula. Transfer batter to prepared pans: 2 cups batter in each 6-inch pan and 4 cups batter in each 9-inch pan. Bake until golden and tops spring back when lightly touched, about 25 minutes for 6-inch cakes and 30 minutes for 9-inch cakes. Let cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto racks; remove parchment. Let cool completely, upside-down.
- Whipped Cream:In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat together cream and confectioners' sugar on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes flat. Split each cake horizontally into two equal layers. Place a 9-inch cake layer, bottom-side down, on a serving platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups whipped cream evenly over top. Repeat process with remaining 9-inch cake layers, spreading 1 1/2 cups whipped cream between each layer and leaving top layer (bottom-side up) uncovered. Refrigerate while you work on the second tier. Repeat process with 6-inch cake layers, spreading 1 cup whipped cream between each layer.
- Insert a wooden dowel or skewer into 9-inch tier; trim dowel so that it?s 1/4 inch taller than height of tier. Trim 2 more dowels to same height. Arrange dowels in a circular pattern, about 3 inches from edge of cake. Center 6-inch tier over 9-inch tier, pressing gently to secure. Insert a dowel into 6-inch tier; trim dowel to height of tier.
- Garnish cake with berries and flowers, scattering on top of each tier and around perimeter of serving platter. Using a small, fine sieve, sift confectioners' sugar over berries. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 325F°. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment; butter parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk together oil, egg yolks, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla seeds. Whisk yolk mixture into flour mixture.
- Beat egg whites on high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Whisk one-third of mixture into batter. With a rubber spatula, gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until golden and tops spring back when lightly touched, about 30 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes. Turn cakes out upside-down onto rack and let cool completely.
- Fruit and Whipped Cream Layers: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, bring berries, 2 tablespoons sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and breaking up berries with the back of a spoon. Pass mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids to release all juices. Let cool completely.
- Combine heavy cream, remaining 1 cup sugar, salt, and vanilla in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on low speed until sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium-high and beat to firm peaks, about 3 minutes more.
- To Assemble: With a serrated knife, trim tops of cake layers to level; split each in half horizontally to form a total of 4 layers. Place one layer, bottom-side down, on a serving platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups whipped cream evenly over top. Repeat process with remaining cake layers, spreading 1 1/2 cups whipped cream between each layer and leaving top layer uncovered. (For stability, insert a wooden dowel or skewer into center of cake, trimmed so dowel is just shorter than top of cake.)
- Spread remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped cream over top of cake in decorative swirls. Garnish with fruit, scattering it on top of cake and around perimeter of platter. Drizzle with blackberry coulis and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 6-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
- Combine butter and sugar in a bowl and beat using an electric mixer until creamy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually sift in flour and continue mixing until batter is smooth. Add vanilla extract and whisk for an additional 2 minutes. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- While cake is cooking beat cream, mascarpone cheese, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth, creamy, and thick. Cover bowl and refrigerate filling until cake is ready for decorating.
- Once cakes are cooled completely, carefully cut each in half horizontally to create 4 layers. Set aside a handful of raspberries and blackberries for garnish. Mix remaining raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries together in a bowl.
- Place 1 cake layer on a serving platter and cover with 1/3 of the mascarpone cream. Sprinkle 1/3 of the berries on top. Add the next cake layer and top with 1/3 of the mascarpone cream and 1/3 of the berries; repeat with remaining 2 layers, mascarpone cream, and berries. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and reserved blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. Dust cake top with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, the baking powder, and salt. Whisk together oil, egg yolks, and milk in a large bowl. Whisk flour mixture into egg-yolk mixture.
- Beat egg whites with a mixer on high speed until frothy. Add cream of tartar and vanilla seeds or extract, and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. Whisk one-third of the egg-white mixture into batter. Gently but thoroughly fold in remaining egg-white mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Transfer batter to tube pan. Bake until top of cake springs back when touched, 52 to 55 minutes. Let cool upside down (over a bottle or on tube-pan feet) 1 hour.
- Make the berries and cream: While cake is baking and cooling, combine strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and salt, and let sit, stirring occasionally, 1 hour. Just before assembling, beat cream and confectioners' sugar until medium peaks form.
- Slide a paring knife around edges of tube and side of pan; release cake. Cut cake horizontally into 3 layers with a serrated knife. Transfer bottom layer to a cake plate or platter. Spread with half the berries, and drizzle with juices. Spread half the whipped cream over berries, then top with middle cake layer. Spread with remaining berries and whipped cream. Top with remaining cake layer. Refrigerate cake 1 hour. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve with berries.

- Chocolate Raspberry Cake. This cake is gasp-worthy and not because you have a naked dessert on your table. The rich chocolate cake and vibrant raspberry buttercream make an unstoppable pair.
- Champagne Layers. Toast to a special occasion with a golden-vanilla champagne cake spread with smooth champagne buttercream. With the neutral palate, this cake can be garnished with just about anything to add color and flavor.
- Salted Toffee Coffee Cake. It may sound like a $10 Starbucks drink, but it is way better. Alternate layers of vanilla, toffee, and coffee flavored chiffon cake with salted toffee whipped cream.
- Strawberry Honey Stack. Adding lemon zest and honey to the traditional vanilla sponge cakes springs out the flavors of the fresh strawberries. Keep the flavors lighter and ditch buttercream for fluffy honey-lemon whipped cream.
- Caramel Layer Cake. What doesn’t go with caramel? That being said, be creative with your filling and cake flavors. Perhaps stirring in some pretzel pieces, or toasting hazelnuts to garnish or to be ground into flour for the cakes.
