Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 0.25 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Butter (softened, for buttercream)
• 4 cups Powdered sugar (for buttercream)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for buttercream)
• 2 tablespoons Whole milk (for buttercream)
• 0.5 cup Rainbow sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the whipped cream filling, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Keep the whipped cream chilled until ready to use.

Step 11

To make the buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated.

Step 12

Stir in the vanilla extract and whole milk, then beat on high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 13

Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a thick, even layer of whipped cream on top.

Step 14

Place the second cake layer on top of the whipped cream and gently press down.

Step 15

Frost the top and sides of the cake with the prepared buttercream frosting using an offset spatula.

Step 16

Decorate the cake with rainbow sprinkles or other garnishes as desired.

Step 17

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the cake to set.
