Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Baking Pans:
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Set them aside.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, and fine sea salt. Set aside.

4. Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

5. Add Eggs:
- Add the large eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.

6. Combine Other Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the vanilla extract and full-fat sour cream until well incorporated.

11. Prepare the Frosting:
- In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
