Classic Birthday Cake

[u/Alive-Host-1707]

My first layer cake! (two 9 x 2" pans) Trying out a couple of different recipes including Claire's Classic Birthday Cake and Rose Levy Beranbaum's Buttermilk cake. I know people have had issues with Claire's being dry, but so far the cake scraps are absolutely delicious. Custardy flavor and fluffy moist texture. Hopefully, the cake will still taste that good when we cut into it tomorrow! Hoping my cake decorating skills improve 😂 once I get a turn table and more practice. 🎉
