Cake Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  3. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
  4. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting Preparation
  1. For the frosting, whisk together flour and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened.
  2. Let the mixture cool completely, then beat it together with softened butter and powdered sugar until fluffy.
Frost the Cake
  1. Once the cake layers are cooled, frost the top of one layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  2. Chill the cake for about 15-30 minutes before serving for a set frosting.
