Prepare Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, starting and ending with flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Frost and Decorate
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter for the frosting until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with heavy cream, and beat until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and mix until combined. If desired, add food coloring to achieve the desired shade.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate with fresh flowers and sprinkles as desired.
