13 - ½ cup (57g) raspberries left whole

17 - ¼ cup (60mL) of heavy cream

18 - 8 ounces (240mL) of evaporated milk

19 - 8 ounces (227g) condensed sweet milk

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and dust two 8 or 9-inch round pans with flour. Blend all the dry components and mix in the butter till it resembles sand. Mix the wet items. Stir together until the mixture is smooth and even.

02 - Split the mixture evenly into the prepared pans. Bake them for about 28 to 32 minutes or till you poke a toothpick in and it comes out clean. Let them cool inside the pans, sitting on a rack.

03 - Whisk together the cream, sugar, and vanilla until you see them form stiff peaks. Stick them aside for later.

04 - Toss all the berries together gently in a bowl. Carefully fold 1 cup of the whipped cream through the berries until they’re coated evenly.

05 - Mix together the evaporated milk, sweet condensed milk, and cream. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

06 - Layer the cake alternately with syrup, the berry mix, and whipped cream. Chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving it up.

# Notes:
