Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
  • Stir in vanilla extract. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ricotta cheese in the frosting for an authentic cannoli flavor.
