1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder (if using). Set aside.
3
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In another bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
4
Add Eggs and Milk
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
5
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using fruit puree, fold it in at this stage.
6
Pour and Bake
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7
Cool and Slice
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
