Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
- 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 in 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 horizontally into two layers.
- Spread a layer of fruit preserves on the bottom layer, followed by a layer of whipped cream.
- Place the second layer on top and repeat the process with more preserves and whipped cream.
- Top with fresh fruit and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
