Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Edible flowers for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated 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 this to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, place one layer of the cake on a serving plate. Spread a layer of whipped cream over the top and add fresh berries.
- Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with more whipped cream. Decorate with additional berries and edible flowers if desired.
- Slice and serve. Enjoy a beautiful cake that any mom will cherish on her special day!
Notes
- For a chocolate cake variation, substitute 1/2 cup of flour with cocoa powder.
- Feel free to personalize the cake with your mom’s favorite flavors or decorations.
