Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups buttercream frosting
- Food coloring (optional for aesthetics)
- Fresh fruits and edible flowers for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened 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, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one layer with buttercream frosting, then place the second layer on top.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream. Use food coloring to create aesthetic designs if desired.
- Decorate with fresh fruits and edible flowers for a beautiful presentation.
- Slice and serve to celebrate Father’s Day!
