225 g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
04 -
4 large eggs, room temperature
05 -
240 ml whole milk, room temperature

15 ml vanilla extract
07 -
12 g baking powder

240 g frosting of choice
# How to Make It:
01 -
Set the oven to 175°C and allow it to fully preheat, ensuring an even baking environment.
02 -
Grease and line two round cake pans to prevent sticking and achieve a clean release.
03 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together sifted flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
04 -
In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
05 -
Add eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Blend in vanilla extract.
06 -
Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined and smooth.
07 -
Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes until a skewer inserted in the center emerges clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
08 -
Once cooled, spread your chosen frosting generously over the cake. Decorate as desired with fresh fruit, edible flowers, or sprinkles.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Ensure eggs, milk, and butter are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter and optimal cake texture.
02 -
Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
03 -
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerate for prolonged freshness.
