Method
 

Preparation

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting and Decoration
  1. Once cooled, frost with your choice of frosting and decorate as desired for Mother’s Day.

Notes

Use fresh fruit or edible flowers for decoration. Experiment with different frosting flavors and consider gluten-free or dairy-free substitutes for dietary restrictions.
