Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter softened
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
2 cups buttercream frosting
1/4 cup sprinkles optional, for decoration
1 sheet edible image paper for printing the 'hear me out' meme crush

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk alternately, mixing until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost the cooled cakes with buttercream frosting, smoothing the top and sides.
Place the edible image of your 'hear me out' crush on top of the cake and add sprinkles around the edges.
Chill the cake for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Customization: Use colored frosting to match the theme of your chosen 'hear me out' crush.
Decorating Tip: If you don’t have edible image paper, print your meme crush on regular paper, laminate it, and place it on top of the cake for fun photos!
