Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
3
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract, until a smooth batter forms.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
6
For the frosting, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream.
7
Frost the cooled cake with the cream cheese frosting, spreading it evenly over the top and sides.
8
Arrange the fresh fruits decoratively on top of the cake. Prepare the gelatin glaze according to package instructions and pour a thin layer over the fruit to help them set and stay fresh.
9
Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
