For the berry filling:
In a large mixing bowl, add 3 eggs and sugar. Whisk until well combined, then add the vegetable oil and milk. Mix again until just combined.
Gently whisk in the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder until smooth. Transfer to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread it evenly. Bake in the oven at 356F for about 20 minutes.
Once done baking, get a glass or cookie cutter to cut the cake into circles. Brush orange juice on top of each cake.
In a different bowl, add the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar. Whisk until foamy.
Add the whipped cream to a piping bag and make a hollow circle on top of each cake.
Make the filling. Add the frozen berries and sugar into a pan over heat. Cook until they are soft. Using a potato masher, mash the strawberries. Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl, then pour into the mashed berries. Mix well, then add the lemon juice. It should become thick. Once done, let it cool for a few minutes.
Once the filling is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a piping bag, then fill the center of each cake.
Cover the filling with more whipped cream.
Transfer the remaining cake to a food processor to turn it into crumbs.
Cover the whipped cream with the crumbs. Dust with powdered sugar on top then serve.
