Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 1/2 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 4 Large eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
For the Frosting
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
  • 4 cups Powdered sugar sifted
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 tsp Almond extract
  • 1 tsp Clear vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Two 8-inch round cake pans
  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. To make the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until incorporated.
  9. Add the heavy cream, almond extract, and clear vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread about one-third of the frosting over the first layer. Top with the second cake layer. Frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
