1. Classic Vanilla Whipped Cream Cake Recipe

   Ingredients

   For the Vanilla Cake:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk

For the Whipped Cream Frosting:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

• Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
• Sprinkles or chocolate shavings

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Vanilla Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
5. Combine with dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet mixture in three parts, alternating with milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing on low speed just until smooth. Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the cake dense.
6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Step 2: Make the Whipped Cream Frosting

1. Whip the cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. If you want to short-cut you can use a whipped cream dispenser and N2O cream chargers to perfectly whip the cream in seconds.
2. Beat until stiff peaks form: Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the cream until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overbeat, or the cream will turn grainy.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake

1. Level the cakes (optional): Use a serrated knife to level the tops of the cakes if they’ve domed, creating a flat surface.
2. Layer with whipped cream: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of whipped cream on top.
3. Add second layer and frost: Place the second cake layer on top, pressing gently to secure it. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream, smoothing it with an offset spatula.

Step 4: Decorate

1. Add toppings: Decorate the cake with fresh berries, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings as desired.
2. Chill: Place the cake in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to set the whipped cream.

Tips for Success

• Chill the cream and utensils: To ensure the cream whips up quickly, chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes before using.
• Adjust sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet whipped cream, reduce the powdered sugar by a tablespoon or two.

3. Add wet ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined.

5. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Cool: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
