Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and line a cake pan with parchment paper.

Mix rye flour, baking powder, and sugar in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, cream together butter and eggs until fluffy.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth.

Stir in vanilla extract for flavor.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

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

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

Once cooled, slice the cake into layers horizontally.

Spread jam between the layers and top with cream cheese frosting.

Decorate with fresh berries and a dusting of cocoa powder.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
