Step 1
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups heavy cream, 3 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 2
Place one 8-inch cake layer on a serving plate. Spread about 1 cup of the whipped cream evenly over the top, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Step 3
Scatter half of the 1 cup raspberries and half of the 1 cup blackberries over the cream, pressing them in gently.
Step 4
Top with the second cake layer. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing with a spatula.
Step 5
Arrange the remaining berries on top of the cake in a decorative pattern. Garnish with 6 fresh mint leaves. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
