Equipment

  • Three round cake pans (8-inch diameter)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Parchment paper
  • Wire cooling rack

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups buttercream frosting
  • q.s. food coloring (optional) for decorating

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in the vanilla extract and milk, blending until smooth.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until fully combined. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
  • Bake the cakes for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Once the cakes are completely cool, stack them with a generous layer of buttercream frosting between each tier. Cover the entire cake with frosting and decorate as desired.

Notes

For an extra-fluffy cake, separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. You can customize the flavors of your cake by adding chocolate, fruit, or other extracts. To keep your cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate it for longer storage. When reheating slices, microwave them for 5–10 seconds to enhance the flavors.
