• Optional: ground cinnamon for dusting

Instructions:

Step 1 – Prepare the Cake Layers:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cloves.
In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the pans and smooth the tops.

Step 2 – Bake the Cake:
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 3 – Make the Whipped Cream Frosting:
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4 – Assemble the Cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream frosting over the top.
Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides as desired.
For a decorative finish, pipe a swirl of frosting on top and dust lightly with ground cinnamon.

Serving & Storage:
This cake is best served chilled or at room temperature. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The whipped cream frosting will hold well and stay fluffy.
