4. In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add eggs, one at a time, then mix in almond and vanilla extracts.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour.
7. Divide batter between pans and smooth the tops.
8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
9. Cool completely on a wire rack.

🌸 Tips

• Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving — it helps the cream set.
• Add a drizzle of honey or strawberry glaze on top for extra shine.
• You can make cupcakes using the same batter and topping!
