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
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Frosting of choice (e.g., buttercream or cream cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 6-inch heart-shaped cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating 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, and mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost the cakes with your chosen frosting and stack one on top of the other. Decorate as desired.
Notes
For the best results, ensure your eggs and butter are at room temperature before baking, and avoid overmixing for a fluffier texture.
