Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) [or specified recipe temperature]. Lightly grease and flour your baking pans or line them with parchment paper.

2

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt).

3

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

4

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients and wet ingredients (milk, buttermilk, or fruit juice) alternately to the creamed mixture, mixing just until combined.

5

Step 5

Divide the batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Cool the cake layers in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with buttercream, glaze, or whipped cream. Slice and serve!
