Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¼ cups milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

  • 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cups powdered sugar
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Red food coloring

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans lined with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix in softened butter and milk, then beat for 2 minutes.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  4. Divide batter between pans, spreading evenly, and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
  5. For frosting, beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually mix in powdered sugar and milk, adding vanilla until fluffy.
  6. Divide frosting, tint one bowl red with food coloring, and leave the other white.
  7. Layer the cooled cakes with white frosting, cover the entire cake with it, then pipe red frosting for baseball stitching using a piping bag.

Notes

  • Use quality ingredients for the best taste.
  • Avoid overbaking to prevent a dry cake.
  • Ensure cakes are completely cool before frosting.
  • Use an offset spatula for smooth frosting.
  • Practice piping on parchment for consistent stitching.
