Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
-
In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
Cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 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 before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Whisk heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form to make the whipped cream frosting.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of the whipped cream frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and cover the top with the remaining frosting.

Decorate with fresh berries if desired. Slice and serve.
