Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- Buttercream frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh flowers or edible decorations for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing 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 another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the top of one cake layer with buttercream frosting, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Decorate with fresh flowers or edible decorations to add a beautiful touch for Mother’s Day.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the cake flavor by adding cocoa powder for a chocolate cake or lemon zest for a citrus twist.
- You can use store-bought frosting to save time or make your own for a personal touch.
- Consider using a heart-shaped cake pan for a special Mother’s Day design.
