Equipment

  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • 8-inch round cake pans (2)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Offset spatula
  • Cake turntable (optional, for decorating)
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Piping bags and tips (optional for decoration)

Ingredients
  

Cake Base:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whipped Cream Frosting:

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cake Batter

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until fluffy and smooth. Scrape down bowl sides.

Bake the Cake

  • Grease and flour two 8-inch round pans.
  • Divide batter evenly between pans.
  • Bake 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cakes cool in pans 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Make the Whipped Cream Frosting

  • Chill mixing bowl and beaters.
  • Whip heavy cream on medium-high speed until it starts to thicken.
  • Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form but not grainy or over-whipped.

Assemble the Cake

  • Place one cake layer on a plate or cake board. Spread an even layer of whipped cream frosting.
  • Add the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with whipped cream frosting. Use an offset spatula for smooth sides and top.

Decorate

  • Use piping bags for decorative peaks or borders if desired.
  • Chill cake before serving to keep whipped cream firm.

Notes

Tips & Tricks

  • Use cold cream and chilled bowls for best whipped cream.
  • Do not over-whip cream to avoid turning it into butter.
  • Let cakes cool fully before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Customize frosting with vanilla, almond, or cocoa powder for flavor variations.
  • Store cake in the refrigerator, covered, and serve chilled.
