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
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Buttercream frosting (for decorating)
- Edible flowers or sprinkles (for decoration)
- Graduation-themed cake toppers
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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 the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until everything is just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Notes
- For a more aesthetic touch, consider using food coloring in the buttercream to match your school colors.
- Feel free to add layers and fillings between the cakes for added flavor and height.
- Store the cake in a cool place until ready to serve to maintain its freshness.
