🍰 Dream Cake: The Recipe for the Most Delicious Cake I’ve Ever Eaten

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is fully incorporated.

5. Alternate Dry and Wet Ingredients

Reduce the mixer speed to low. Begin adding the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk and milk in two parts, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined—overmixing can make the cake dense.

6. Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

7. Make the Frosting

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. Beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the heavy cream. Add the vanilla and salt. Beat on high for 3–5 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and spreadable.

8. Assemble the Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Add fresh berries if desired. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake evenly. For an extra touch, decorate with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or a caramel drizzle.

9. Chill and Serve

For the best flavor and texture, chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the frosting to set and the flavors to meld. Slice, serve, and enjoy each dreamy bite.
