Equipment
- 9-inch round cake pans
- 2 Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Electric mixer
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 375 g sugar
- 250 g butter
- 4 eggs
- 250 ml milk
- 12 g vanilla extract
- 12 g baking powder
- 2 g salt
Instructions
- Before I start working with the dough, I turn on the oven. I need a temperature of 350°F (175°C). To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, I grease the sides with butter and sprinkle a little flour on the bottom.
- In a bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, I cream the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- I add eggs to the second bowl. It is better to add them one at a time and mix each egg well.
- And again, I pour everything from the first bowl into the second bowl. But I do this alternately with milk - that is, a little dry ingredients, then milk and pour out the rest. Finally, I stir in the vanilla.
- I pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After letting the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, I transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- I make my favorite buttercream frosting.
- I frost the bottom layer, add the top layer, then frost the entire cake.
- Decorating is the fun part! I get creative with different designs.
