• Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning by adding 1/2 of the flour mixture, then 1/2 of the buttermilk. Then repeat this process. Beat until fully incorporating after each addition.
• Divide the batter between prepared pans. Bake for about 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cakes to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan, then release from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack.
• Make the frosting: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl beat heavy cream to stiff peaks. Then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
