2 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda

Instructions & Methods

Prepare the Oven & Pans
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9×13-inch pans (or three 9-inch round pans).
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream Butter & Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step creates the foundation of the cake’s softness.
Add Eggs & Flavor
Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract for that warm, nostalgic aroma.
Combine Wet & Dry
Alternate adding the dry mixture with milk and sour cream. Mix gently until smooth—do not overbeat.
Bake
Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
Make the Frosting
Beat butter until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar, cream, vanilla, and salt. Whip until fluffy.
Assemble & Decorate
Frost the cooled cakes generously. Add sprinkles, berries, or decorations that suit the celebration.
