Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a 23cm (9 inch) round cake pan.

In a bowl, combine plain flour, cornflour, and baking powder.

In another bowl, cream together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.

Stir in vanilla extract and orange zest.

Gradually add the flour mixture and water, mixing until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a separate bowl, whip double cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add icing sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.

Once the cake is cool, spread a layer of whipped cream on top and add fresh berries.

Top with another layer of whipped cream and garnish with remaining berries.
