Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream frosting by beating the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream until smooth.
  10. Divide the frosting into portions and color with food coloring as desired.
  11. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake.
  12. Decorate with conversation heart candies and additional colored frosting as desired.
