Best Birthday Cake Recipe​

Ingredients:​

• For the cake:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
• For the frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (optional)

Instructions:​

1. Preheat the oven: to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream the butter and sugar: In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
5. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Make the frosting: Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat until fluffy. Add food coloring if desired.
7. Assemble the cake: Frost the cooled cake layers and decorate as you like!

This cake was so fun to make and even more fun to eat! It's perfect for celebrations, and the frosting is a dream to work with. Happy baking!

I think a classic chocolate cake with rich, creamy frosting is always a hit for birthdays! Though a fun twist like a rainbow layer cake can make it extra special!
