Classic Cake Perfection and Elegance

Ingredients:

1. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2. 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3. 1/2 tsp salt
4. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
5. 2 cups granulated sugar
6. 4 large eggs
7. 1 tsp vanilla extract
8. 1 1/2 cups whole milk

For Frosting: 9. Buttercream or cream cheese frosting (flavor of choice)

1. Fresh berries or edible flowers (for decoration)

Steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until smooth.

Step 2: Bake the Layers Divide the batter evenly among prepared cake pans. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow layers to cool completely.

Step 3: Frost the Cake Spread a thin layer of frosting between each cake layer and then frost the entire cake with a smooth and even coating.

Step 4: Decorate with Elegance For an elegant touch, decorate the cake with intricate designs, piping, or simply adorn it with fresh berries or edible flowers.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy Slice and serve the Classic Cake, savoring the balanced combination of flavors and the refined elegance that graces each bite.
