Ingredients
  

  • 300 g butter softened
  • 300 g granulated sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 350 g flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • frosting: vanilla buttercream Recipe link Below

Instructions
 

Vanilla Flavore Butter Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two 10 x 8-inch rectangular pans with baking paper.
  • Sift together flour and baking powder; set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until pale in color. Add the sugar and beat on high speed until creamed together, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Reduce mixer speed to medium and add flour mixture alternating with the milk, beat until just combined and smooth. Do not over mix. The batter will become thin.
  • Divide the batter into two equal portions and add a dollop of pink and green food colorings to each half. Mix well separately.
  • Pour the prepared batter into the lined trays and bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the pans and let it cool on a wire rack.

Assemble the Ribbon Cake

  • Trim the edges. If you wish to add more decorations, use the remaining buttercream to pipe as needed.
