Instructions:

4. Stir in the vanilla extract and mix well.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean.
9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assembly:
1. Once the cakes have cooled, level the tops if necessary to create even layers.
2. Choose a sturdy cake stand or plate to assemble your Too Tall Cake.
3. Place the first layer of cake on the stand and spread a generous amount of your favorite frosting on top.
4. Add the second layer of cake, followed by another layer of frosting, and repeat with the final layer.
5. Use the remaining frosting to cover the entire cake, creating a beautifully smooth finish.
6. Decorate the top of the cake with sprinkles, fresh berries, or edible flowers for a decorative touch.
