Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk, at room temperature
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8" round cake pans and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated. With the mixer still on low, slowly pour in the milk and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the two pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Decorating
Once the cakes have cooled, you can start decorating. If you plan on using any fondant decorations, you need to make sure that your cakes are completely cooled and that they are also level. To level your cakes, use a long, serrated knife to make sure that the tops of the cakes are even. This will make sure that your fondant decorations are even and level.
Next, you need to decide what type of decorations you want to use. You can use store-bought fondant, buttercream frosting, or even fresh fruit. It all depends on the look you are going for. Once you have decided on the decorations, it's time to assemble your cake. Start by placing one cake layer onto a cake board or cake stand. Spread a thin layer of buttercream frosting over the top of the cake layer. Place the second layer on top and spread a thin layer of buttercream over the top and sides.
Now you can start decorating your cake. If you are using fondant, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Cut out shapes or designs with a sharp knife or cookie cutters. Place the shapes onto the cake and press gently to adhere. You can also use buttercream frosting to pipe designs or write messages on the cake. Use fresh fruit to make a colorful design, or top with sprinkles or other decorations.
