Ingredients

• For the cake:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• For the frosting:
• 1 and 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to wire racks to cool completely.
8. While the cakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
9. Once the cakes have cooled, generously frost the top of one cake layer with the creamy frosting. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake, including the sides.
10. Decorate with sprinkles or other desired toppings. Serve and enjoy the scrumptious party cake!
