Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk
- 500g fresh strawberries or raspberry jam (for filling)
- Whipped cream or buttercream frosting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans using a nonstick cookware set.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the vanilla extract.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet mixture, alternating with milk to form a smooth batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely.
- Spread a generous layer of strawberry or raspberry jam on one cake layer.
- Add a layer of whipped cream or buttercream frosting for extra richness.
- Place the second cake layer on top, and dust with powdered sugar for a regal presentation.
- Optional: Decorate with fresh berries or edible gold dust to mimic Bridgerton’s opulence.
Notes
- Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for best results.
- You can substitute jam with lemon curd or pastry cream for different flavors.
- Decorate the cake with edible gold dust or fresh berries for an opulent look.
