Gender Reveal Cake🎂💖💙.

The left half of the cake is pink, and the right half is blue, adorned with white pearl-like decorations scattered across both halves. The top edge of the cake is decorated with matching pink and blue rosettes, and there's a large pink rose with green leaves at the base of the cake. This type of cake is often used to announce the gender of a baby.

Ingredients:

• Cake:

• 8 oz all-purpose flour
• 8 oz granulated sugar
• 4 oz unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large eggs (approximately 7 oz)

Instructions:

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3.Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4.In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

5.Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
