Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour and 2 tsp baking powder.
Step 2
In a large bowl, cream 0.5 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in 2 eggs one at a time, then stir in 0.5 cup milk.
Step 3
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes. Cool completely.
Step 4
Whip 1.5 cups heavy cream with 2 tbsp sugar (if desired) until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake.
Step 5
Top with 1.5 cups sliced fruit and chocolate shavings. Chill for 30 minutes before serving to set the cream.
Step 6
Slice and serve cold. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
