Colonial Wedding Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

8. Once the cakes are completely cool, it’s time to assemble the wedding cake. Place the first layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of your favorite frosting over the top.

9. Continue stacking the cake layers, spreading frosting between each layer, until all layers are stacked.

10. Use the remaining frosting to cover the sides and top of the cake. Feel free to get creative with piping or decorations to suit the occasion.

11. Chill the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

12. Slice and enjoy this Colonial Wedding Cake with your loved ones, savoring each bite of this delightful treat!
