1

Prepare the cake batter

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Add 1/2 cup of softened butter, 3/4 cup of whole milk, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 3 large eggs. Mix until smooth and well combined.

2

Bake the cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a cake pan. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely.

3

Prepare the filling

In a mixing bowl, whip 2 cups of heavy cream until it thickens. Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Continue whipping until soft peaks form. Set aside.

4

Assemble the cake

Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into three layers. Place the bottom layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of whipped cream on top. Add the second layer and repeat. Finally, place the third layer on top and cover the entire cake with whipped cream, creating a smooth surface.

5

Decorate like a princess

Roll out a sheet of marzipan or fondant on a lightly powdered sugar surface. Carefully drape it over the cake to cover it completely. Trim any excess and smooth out any wrinkles. Use food coloring to tint some of the marzipan/fondant into different colors and shape it into decorative elements, like roses or ribbons. Let your creativity run wild! Place the decorations on top of the cake to create a majestic look.

6

Serve and enjoy!

Gently place a tiara or crown on top of the cake for that extra royal touch. Once you're satisfied with the decorations, it's time to gather your loved ones around and enjoy the magical princess cake you've created. Remember, every bite is fit for a queen!
