Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round pans and line with parchment paper.
Cream butter and sugar for 5-7 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients alternately with milk. Pour batter into pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, beat mascarpone and cream cheese. Gradually add powdered sugar. Whip cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Combine with mascarpone mixture.
Cut cooled cakes in half horizontally. Spread one-third of the jam mixture, top with frosting and berries. Repeat with remaining layers.
