Step-by-Step Instructions for Berry Chantilly Cake
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F, no fan) and prepare an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, and vanilla, then beat until pale and voluminous, about 5 minutes.
- Sift the flour and salt over the egg mixture, gently fold in, then add milk and oil, and fold to a smooth batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 40 minutes without opening the oven for the first 30 minutes.
- Prepare the berry coulis by blending fresh berries, straining, and simmering with sugar and lemon juice until thickened.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, mascarpone, and powdered sugar until loose peaks form, adding vanilla extract.
- After cooling, slice the sponge into two layers, layered berry coulis and Chantilly cream, topped with fresh berries.
- Apply a crumb coat of Chantilly cream, chill for 30 minutes, then spread a final layer and decorate with berries.

Notes
Ensure eggs are at room temperature for optimal volume; avoid overmixing the batter to maintain air. Cool the sponge upside down for an even layer. Chill whipped cream for better stability.
