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

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread a generous amount of Chantilly cream on top, then place the second cake layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining Chantilly cream. Decorate with fresh fruits if desired.

Slice and serve this heavenly cake to your friends and family, or enjoy it all to yourself—we won’t judge!
