  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  11. Slice, serve, and savor your elegant pink velvet cake!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of almond extract to the frosting. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for easier blending.
