Preheat your oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the @all-purpose flour{1.5%cups}, @salt{0.25%tsp}, @baking soda{0.5%tsp}, @baking powder{1.5%tsp}, and @sugar{1%cup}.

Add the @neutral oil (such as grapeseed or avocado){0.5%cups}, lightly beaten @eggs{2}, @buttermilk{0.5%cup} plus 2 tablespoons, and @vanilla extract{2%tsp}. Stir until just combined.

Coat two 6-inch @cake pans{2} (or one 9-inch pan) with nonstick spray or butter. For best results, line the bottoms with parchment paper. Pour the batter evenly into the pans.

Bake for 25 to ~{30%minutes}, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool in the pans for ~{15%minutes}, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, beat the @cream cheese{8%oz} and @sugar{0.5%cups} together until light and fluffy.

Add the @heavy cream{0.67%cups}, @sea salt{1%pinch}, and @vanilla{1%tsp}. Beat again until the mixture is thick, light, and fluffy.

If using two 6-inch cakes, cut each cake in half crosswise to create four thin layers. Stack the layers, spreading frosting between each one. Use the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with sprinkles and candles as desired.
