Description

A delightful cake that embodies rich tradition and sweet flavors, perfect for celebrations or cozy gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • Fresh fruits (like strawberries or cherries) for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the appropriate temperature and prepare your cake pans by greasing them.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing fully before adding the next.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting or assembling.
  7. Decorate with fresh fruits and a drizzle of icing if desired.

Notes

For a moister cake, add a splash of yogurt or sour cream to the batter. Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
