A delightful vanilla cake filled with fresh berries and whipped cream, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2–4 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 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 before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the fresh berries, being careful not to crush them.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, use a serrated knife to level the tops if necessary.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the berry filling evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and enough heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.
- Spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Cut the cake into slices and serve. Enjoy your delicious vanilla cake with filling!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Use any combination of fresh berries for the filling.
