Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (300g) All-Purpose Flour
- 1 ½ cups (300g) Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup (226g) Unsalted Butter, softened
- 4 large Eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup (240ml) Whole Milk, at room temperature
- 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 6-inch heart-shaped cake pans (or one 8-inch pan).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with two additions of the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared heart-shaped pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, frost and decorate as desired.
