For the Vanilla Cream Frosting:

– 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions:

For the Cake:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined after each addition.

6. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Vanilla Cream Frosting:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.

2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

3. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. Add the whole milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

Assembling the Cake:

2. Spread a generous amount of the vanilla cream frosting over the top of the first cake layer.

3. Carefully place the second cake layer on top.

4. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining vanilla cream frosting.
