Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture. Mix until smooth.
  5. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden and springy to touch. Cool completely.
  6. For the buttercream: beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar. Add cream and vanilla for a smooth consistency.
  7. Place one cake layer on a turntable, spread a layer of buttercream, and top with the second layer. Frost the entire cake evenly.
  8. Using a piping bag with a star nozzle, create rosettes or swirls around the edges. Decorate with berries, edible flowers, and mint leaves.
