Heaven on Earth Cake

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

1. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
2. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is evenly combined.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Reduce the mixer speed to low.
2. Add the dry ingredient mixture in three parts, alternating with buttermilk and milk in two additions.
3. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined—overmixing can make the cake dense.

Step 6: Bake the Cake

1. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
2. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
3. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 7: Prepare the Frosting

1. In a large bowl, beat butter for 2–3 minutes until creamy.
2. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until incorporated.
3. Add heavy cream, vanilla, and salt, and beat on high for 3–4 minutes until fluffy and spreadable.

Step 8: Assemble the Cake

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate.
2. Spread a generous layer of frosting evenly on top.
3. Place the second cake layer over it and frost the top and sides.
4. Smooth the frosting with a spatula or create decorative swirls.

Step 9: Garnish (Optional)

1. Sprinkle toasted coconut, almonds, or chocolate shavings on top for extra texture and elegance.
2. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting before slicing.

Step 10: Serve and Enjoy

1. Slice the cake with a sharp knife, wiping it clean between cuts for perfect layers.
2. Serve with tea, coffee, or a glass of cold milk.
3. Revel in the soft, buttery layers and heavenly flavor—a true “Heaven on Earth” experience.

Tips for Perfection:

• Always use room temperature eggs and butter for better mixing.
• Don’t overbake; the cake should spring back slightly when touched.
• If you want extra moistness, brush the layers lightly with simple syrup before frosting.

This Heaven on Earth Cake is perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or whenever you need a slice of happiness. Its soft crumb, rich frosting, and melt-in-your-mouth experience make it a crowd favorite every time.
