Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then gradually sift in flour.
- Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- While cakes cool, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Sweeten with powdered sugar or vanilla extract if desired.
- Assemble by placing one cake layer on a serving plate, spreading half of the whipped cream on top, then adding the second layer and covering with remaining whipped cream.
