Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes
Serves: 10

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

2 cups granulated sugar

3 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

2 cups heavy cream

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream)

Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

7. To make the cream filling, whip the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.

8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the whipped cream over the cake layer, then sandwich with the second layer. Spread the remaining whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh berries if desired.

Storage
