Method
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Cream Filling
- In a mixing bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, slice each cake in half horizontally to create four layers.
- Spread a layer of the cream filling between the first two layers of cake.
Assemble and Frost the Cake
- Stack the layers back together, then spread a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the prepared frosting.
- Decorate as desired and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
