Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter for frosting
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk for frosting
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting
- Red food coloring (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time and vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk.
- Divide the batter evenly into the pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes, then fully cool on a wire rack.
- Prepare the frosting by beating butter until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a plate, frosting the top, then adding the second layer and applying a crumb coat. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Frost the entire cake and pipe red frosting to create the baseball stitch design.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
- Prevent cake from becoming too dry by adding buttermilk or sour cream if needed.
- If frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar for a firmer consistency.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
- If freezing layers, make sure they are well-wrapped and thaw before frosting.
