Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups
  • 1.5 cups
  • 1 cup
  • 4 large
  • 1 cup
  • 2 teaspoons
  • 1 teaspoon
  • 1/2 teaspoon
  • 3 cups
  • 1 cup
  • 1 cup
  • 1 cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  6. 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 turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  7. Once cooled, frost the tops of one cake layer with buttercream frosting and place the second layer on top. Frost the entire cake with a thin layer of frosting to create a crumb coat, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  8. After chilling, apply a final layer of frosting to the cake, smoothing it out evenly.
  9. Roll out the yellow and orange fondant and cut out shapes to decorate the cake, such as a lion’s mane or stars.
  10. Finish the cake with edible gold stars for a touch of sparkle, perfect for a Leo celebration!
  11. Slice and serve to celebrate the birthday!

Notes

  • For a more vibrant cake, consider adding food coloring to the batter for a fun twist.
  • Feel free to customize the decorations based on the birthday person’s preferences.
