Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ cups cake flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
1 cup heavy cream (for frosting)
Colorful candy eggs (for decoration)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three round cake pans with nonstick spray and dust with flour.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix this dry mixture into the wet ingredients while alternating with milk until well combined.
Divide the batter evenly among prepared pans. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for ten minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Frost between layers and cover the entire cake.
Decorate with colorful candy eggs on top.
