Whipped Cream Decorated Yellow Cake

A delightful yellow cake topped with fluffy whipped cream, perfect for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for whipped cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Mix in the wet ingredients, alternating with the dry mixture, starting and ending with the flour mix.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  8. Cool the cakes in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the whipped cream by whipping heavy cream until soft peaks form, then adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  10. Assemble the cake: place one layer on a serving platter, spread whipped cream on top, add the second layer, and cover with remaining whipped cream.
  11. Decorate with fruits, chocolate shavings, or edible flowers as desired.
