How to Make Perfect Party Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the ingredient list and prepare your cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for the time specified in the ingredient list, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. (Frosting recipe to be added as a sub-recipe or detailed instructions here).
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the layers and decorate as desired.
