Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Yellow food coloring
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 4 sheet Edible gold leaf

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
4. Add yellow food coloring and mix until the batter is evenly colored.

7. Once the cake is cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar. Carefully place the edible gold leaf on top of the cake to create a decorative pattern.
8. Serve and enjoy!
