Instructions
- Mixing Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Creaming Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Baking the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in a preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.

- Decorating: Once the cakes are completely cooled, level them with a serrated knife. Place one layer on a cake stand, and frost the top. Add the second layer and frost the entire cake. Decorate with sprinkles, fondant, edible pearls, or any other decorations you like.
