- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven and prepare cake pans.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix dry ingredients.
In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream butter and sugar.
In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Add eggs and vanilla.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine wet and dry ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
6. Bake the cakes.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool the cakes.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Prepare the cream filling.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
9. Assemble the cake.
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of whipped cream filling on top, then place the second layer on top.
10. Frost the top.
Frost the top of the cake with more whipped cream and decorate as desired.
