Print Recipe

A moist and delicious cake that’s perfect for celebrating a special milestone, topped with your choice of frosting and decorations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Frosting (buttercream, fondant, or cream cheese)
  • Decorations (edible glitter, candles, cake toppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until well combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  8. Frost and decorate the cake as desired for the 80th birthday celebration.

Notes

Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate for about a week or freeze tightly wrapped.
