In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.

Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Divide the batter into two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cakes are cooled, trim the tops to level them if needed.
-
Dust one of the cakes with cocoa powder.
-
Place the other cake on top and shape it into a baseball mitt using a knife.

In a mixing bowl, knead the fondant until pliable. Add the brown food coloring gel and knead until the desired color is achieved.
