Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 cups heavy cream for frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese softened, for frosting
- 1 cup powdered sugar for frosting
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice for frosting
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the frosting, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and lemon juice, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cakes are cool, spread the frosting between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake.
Notes
This cake is best served chilled and can be topped with fresh berries for added flavor and color.
