Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, using a hand or stand mixer.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cakes are completely cool, assemble the layers with your favorite frosting between each layer and on top. You can use a classic vanilla buttercream or any frosting of your choice.
-
For a finishing touch, decorate the cake with additional sprinkles, fresh berries, or edible flowers, if desired.
