Certainly! Here's a special cake recipe that will add to the joy of your weekend celebration:

Ingredients:

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

For the frosting:

  • 2 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring and sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

  2. In a 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. Mix in the vanilla extract.

  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

  8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

  9. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until smooth and fluffy.

  10. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top.

  11. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Smooth the frosting with a spatula for a neat finish.

  12. If desired, decorate the cake with food coloring and sprinkles to make it extra special and celebratory.

  13. Let the cake sit for a while to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

Enjoy this special homemade cake with your loved ones during your weekend celebration. It's sure to bring extra joy to the occasion!
