Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
- Collect all the necessary ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, and fresh raspberries.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's nice and warm for baking.
Step 3: Prepare the Cake Batter
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
Step 5: Fold in Raspberries
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries, being careful not to crush them. This will add a burst of flavor!
Step 6: Pour into Cake Pans
- Grease and flour two round cake pans. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
Step 7: Bake the Cakes
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell heavenly!
Step 8: Cool the Cakes
- Once baked, 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.
Step 9: Prepare the Frosting
- While the cakes cool, whip up some frosting using butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a splash of milk until smooth and creamy.
Step 10: Assemble the Cake
- Once the cakes are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting on top, then add the second layer and frost the top and sides.
Step 11: Garnish and Serve
- Top with additional fresh raspberries for a beautiful finish. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Raspberry Elegance Cake!
