Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pans and line the bottom with parchment paper to ensure easy removal later. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step is crucial as it incorporates air into the mixture, giving your cake that delightful lift! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
