🍰 Ingredients:
For the Cake Layers:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup sour cream (for moistness)
For the Vanilla Cream Filling:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
For the Glaze or Drizzle (Optional but divine):
- ½ cup white chocolate, melted
- ¼ cup condensed milk
- A splash of vanilla
Toppings (Optional):
- Fresh berries
- Edible gold flakes ✨
- Toasted coconut or almond slices
🥄 Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk/sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Divide batter evenly among pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 4: Make the Cream Filling
Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
Step 5: Assemble the Cake
Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread a generous layer of vanilla cream filling. Add the second layer and repeat. Finish with the top layer and spread remaining cream all over.
Step 6: Final Touch (Optional)
Drizzle with white chocolate glaze, scatter berries or nuts, and finish with edible gold if you’re feeling fancy.
🧁 History & Formation:
This cake takes inspiration from European vanilla sponge traditions, but adds the lushness of American cream fillings. It was born from a blend of celebration cakes—used at weddings, birthdays, even love proposals. The formation is simple: 3 layers of soft sponge + clouds of vanilla cream = perfection.
