You make a cake by mixing dry ingredients like flour, baking powder, and salt with wet ingredients such as butter, sugar, eggs, and milk until a smooth batter forms. Pour the prepared batter into greased round baking pans and bake at three hundred and fifty degrees until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow the warm cake layers to cool completely on a wire cooling rack. Finish your homemade cake by spreading your favorite frosting between the layers and over the top.
