- Place one cake layer on a serving board or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of buttercream on top.
- Place the second cake layer over the frosted base. Spread frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
- Smooth the frosting or create swirls using a spatula. Decorate as desired—rustic, piped, or simple.
Tips:
- Ensure the cakes are fully cooled before frosting to avoid melting the buttercream.
- Use hot water, not boiling, to help loosen the batter without scrambling the eggs.
- Store the frosted cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
