Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature

For the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Cake:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
    • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  2. Preparing the Vanilla Buttercream Frosting:

    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
    • Add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on high speed for about 3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy.
    • If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream; if it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.

  3. Assembling the Cake:

    • Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
    • Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting. Spread the remaining frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
    • Decorate with sprinkles, fresh berries, or any other desired toppings.
