Base Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pans by greasing them lightly.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.
Cream Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the dry mixture and continue mixing until smooth.
Pour Batter into Pans
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared baking pans and smooth the tops.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting Preparation
Prepare the Cream Cheese Frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended.
Whip the Cream
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
