How to Make Two Layered Birthday Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of the first layer with 1 1/2 cups of your favorite frosting.
  11. Arrange sliced strawberries over the frosting.
  12. Frost the top of the second cake layer with another 1/2 cup of frosting and carefully place it on top of the first layer.
  13. Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
  14. Grate some semi-sweet chocolate over the top and garnish with fresh strawberries for decoration.
