Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk.
  5. Fold in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  6. Divide the batter equally among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the cakes have cooled, prepare the vanilla frosting and assemble the cake by spreading a layer of frosting between each cake layer and on the top and sides of the cake.
  10. Decorate the cake as desired using fondant, buttercream flowers, or other decorative elements.
