Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 (16-ounce) container of cool whip, thawed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk. Beat well after each addition. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, make the filling. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir to combine. Add the condensed milk and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
To assemble the cake, place one of the cooled cake layers on a cake plate. Spread the cooled filling over the top of the cake. Place the second cake layer on top of the filling. Spread the cool whip over the top and sides of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
