To make this Easter Buttercream Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk

For the buttercream frosting:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)

For the decorations:

- Easter-themed candies, such as jelly beans, chocolate eggs, or Peeps
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before assembling the cake.
To make the buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the frosting is thick and smooth. Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until the frosting is light and fluffy. If desired, add food coloring to tint the frosting to your desired color.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a thick layer of buttercream frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread another layer of frosting on top and around the sides of the cake. Decorate the cake with Easter-themed candies and refrigerate until ready to serve.
