Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Frost: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, decorate with your choice of frosting and baptism cake decoration.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients.
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
- Customize the frosting and decorations to match the baptism theme.
