Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Food coloring (optional for decoration)
- Fondant or buttercream for icing
- Edible flowers or sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the cakes with your choice of icing (buttercream or fondant).
- Use food coloring to tint some icing if desired, and decorate the cake with edible flowers, sprinkles, or any other decorations you like.
- Personalize the cake with a special message or design to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Notes
- You can create a layered cake by stacking the two cakes with icing in between.
- Consider using different flavors or fillings, such as chocolate or fruit preserves, for added variety.
- For a more personal touch, write a heartfelt message on the cake with icing.
