Spongecake with Berry Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Ingredients
The Cake Ingredients:

2 Cup all-purpose flour
2 Cup sugar
2 Teaspoon baking powder
4 whole eggs
1 Cup milk
4 Tablespoon butter

Frosting Ingredients

1/2 Cup shortening
1/2 Cup real butter
1 1/2 Tsp clear vanilla extract
1 dash salt (optional)
5 Cup confectioners' sugar
2-3 Tablespoon milk
1 1/2 Cup fresh blackberries
1 1/2 Cup coarsely chopped fresh strawberries

Frosting Preparation:

Steps
Cream butter and shortening, then add vanilla.
Add sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed.
Add milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until completely blended.
Tip: To cut the sweetness I usually sprinkle some salt in the vanilla (so it will dissolve) before proceeding with recipe as instructed.
Divide the frosting in half and fold in the blackberries and strawberries on the half you'll use to frost between the cake layers.

Cake Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
Combine flour and baking powder
In a bowl, beat eggs on high speed about 4 minutes, or til thick.
Gradually add sugar; beat at medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
Add flour mixture, beat at low to medium speed until just combined.
In a saucepan, heat and stir milk and margarine until margarine melts; add to batter, beating until combined.
Pour into 2 greased 9 x9 x 2 inch baking pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool
Transfer one layer onto a serving dish and cover in berry buttercream frosting
Add second layer on top and cover the rest of the cake with the frosting
Refrigerate for a few hours
