Beat Cream Cheese and Butter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add Powdered Sugar:
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
Add Vanilla and Cream:
- Stir in the vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until you reach the desired consistency.

Level the Cakes:
- If necessary, level the tops of the cooled cakes using a serrated knife to create even layers.
Frost the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
Decorate:
- For an extra touch, decorate the cake with purple sprinkles, edible flowers, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Slice and Serve:
- Slice the cake and serve it to your delighted guests. Enjoy the moist, flavorful cake with its vibrant purple color and creamy frosting.

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that the eggs, buttermilk, cream cheese, and butter are at room temperature. This helps create a smooth batter and frosting.
Food Coloring: Gel food coloring is preferred over liquid food coloring because it provides a more intense color without altering the consistency of the batter.
Even Layers: To ensure even cake layers, use a kitchen scale to divide the batter equally between the cake pans
