Vanilla extract provides a similar flavor profile.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour cake pans.

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Sift together flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the butter mixture, alternating with milk.

Stir in vanilla extract and almond extract until combined.

Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans.

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

Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Once cool, slice each cake horizontally to create layers.

Spread jam between layers, then top with whipped cream and fresh fruit.

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
