Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
Yellow and black fondant for decoration
Edible bee decorations (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost between the layers, then cover the entire cake with frosting. Decorate with yellow and black fondant to create bees and add any additional edible bee decorations as desired.
