Ingredients (for a classic cake base to personalize):
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
2 ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cream butter and sugar: Using a mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs: Beat in eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Alternate wet and dry: Add the dry mixture in three batches alternated with milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently to combine.
Pour batter into prepared pans and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve your cake with fresh fruits, whipped cream, or a drizzle of your favorite sauce to enhance flavors.
Store cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week. Freeze if you want to keep it longer; wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
Let refrigerated cake come to room temperature before serving for best texture and taste.
