👩‍🍳 Instructions & Methods

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients with the milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until smooth but do not overbeat.

Step 2: Bake the Cake

Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 3: Make the Buttercream Frosting

Beat butter until creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Add vanilla and 2 tablespoons cream. Beat on high for 2–3 minutes until fluffy. Add more cream if needed for spreading consistency.

Step 4: Assemble & Decorate

Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of buttercream.
Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides.
Decorate with berries, chocolate, or flowers to make it stunning.

📜 History

The origins of layer cakes date back to the 17th century in Europe, where butter and sugar became widely available. This particular style of butter cake became popular in the 19th century American South, where bakers perfected the art of fluffy, layered confections with creamy frostings. Over the decades, it’s been passed down and adapted—but the essence remains the same: a cake that feels timeless, celebratory, and unforgettable.

🏗️ Formation (Science of the Cake)

Butter & Sugar Creaming: Creates tiny air pockets, giving the cake its fluffy structure.
Eggs: Bind the ingredients and add richness.
Milk: Adds moisture and tenderness.
Baking Powder: Ensures rise and lightness.
Frosting: Locks in moisture while adding sweetness and luxury.
