Two Layer Cakes
Ingredients:
– 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– ½ cup milk
For the top layer:
– 1 cup heavy cream
– ½ cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Fresh berries or sliced fruits for decoration
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and smooth the tops using a spatula.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the top layer by whipping the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
9. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of the whipped cream on top.
10. Carefully place the second cake layer on top of the whipped cream, creating a two-layer cake.
11. Use the remaining whipped cream to frost the top and sides of the cake, creating a smooth and even finish.
12. Decorate the cake with fresh berries or sliced fruits, adding a pop of color and flavor to your creation.
And there you have it – a beautiful Two Layer Cake that is sure to impress your guests and satisfy your sweet cravings. Enjoy the process of baking and decorating this delightful dessert, and don’t forget to share the joy with your loved ones. Happy baking!
