Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare three 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them and lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the frosting, beat the cream cheese and heavy cream together in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter and spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Repeat with the second and third layers.
Frost the top and sides of the cake evenly and decorate as desired. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
Slice and serve your Buttery Layer Supreme Cake. Enjoy!
