How to Bake a Bride's Cake

Bride's cake, also known as wedding cake, is a traditional cake served at wedding receptions. It is usually a multi-layered cake that is rich and decadent. Here's a basic recipe on how to bake a bride's cake:

Ingredients: - 3 cups all-purpose flour - 2 teaspoons baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature - 2 cups granulated sugar - 4 large eggs, at room temperature - 1 cup whole milk - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare three 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract, until everything is fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.

5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. Once the cakes are completely cool, you can begin to assemble the cake. Place one layer on a cake plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the other layers until you have a complete cake.

8. Decorate the cake as desired with frosting, flowers, or other decorations.
