Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder. In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully combined. Gradually mix in the flour mixture until the batter is smooth.

Step 2

Bake the Cake Layers

Divide the batter evenly between two greased 20 cm (8 inch) round cake pans. Level the tops with a spatula for even baking. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 3

Make the Cream Filling

In a medium-sized bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, continuing to whip until it reaches medium peaks. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream until combined well.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a cake stand. Spread half of the cream filling on top. Place the second cake layer on top and cover it with the remaining cream filling.

Use a spatula to smooth the cream on top and around the sides of the cake for an even finish. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the filling.

Step 5

Decorate the Cake

Before serving, decorate the top of the cake with edible flowers, chocolate shavings, and fresh berries. This adds a lovely and colorful touch to your creation.

Slice and enjoy this delicious creamy two-layer cake during your next celebration!

Variations

Want to cater to everyone’s needs? Here are some **gluten-free** and **vegan** variations to this delicious cake:

Gluten-Free: Substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to add a little extra moisture to your batter, as gluten-free flours can often absorb more liquid. This ensures your cake stays moist and fluffy! 🌾✨

Vegan: Replace eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water, and use plant-based milk and oil instead of dairy. You can even swap out butter for coconut oil for a dairy-free twist! 🚫🥛💚

Faq

  • What should I do if my cake doesn't rise?

    If your cake isn’t rising properly, check the freshness of your baking powder or soda. Make sure you're also measuring ingredients accurately and that your oven is preheated.

  • How can I tell when my cake is done baking?

    To check if your cake is ready, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean or with a few crumbs, your cake is perfectly baked!

  • How do I prevent my cake from being too dense?

    Make sure you’re not overmixing your batter! Mix just until the ingredients are combined to ensure your cake has a light texture.

  • Can I make this cake ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can bake the cake a day in advance and store it wrapped tightly to keep it fresh. Just frost it right before serving!

  • What’s the best way to layer my cake?

    To layer your cake, ensure each layer is completely cool before stacking it. Use a leveler to create even layers for the best presentation!
