Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup whole milk (or non-dairy alternative)
Food coloring (red, blue, yellow, purple)
Fondant for pup decorations
Unaflavored buttercream frosting for filling and topping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
Slowly incorporate dry ingredients into wet ingredients, alternating with milk until smooth.
Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and springy.
Cool cakes completely (45-60 minutes). Frost with buttercream, stack layers, and cover with buttercream.
Roll out fondant to create fondant pup shapes, using cookies or molds for details like paws and antennas.
Attach decorations using a small amount of buttercream as adhesive.

Notes

Use room-temperature butter for smooth mixing.
Store unused fondant in an airtight container to prevent drying.
Edible markers or food-safe paint can add fine details to fondant pup faces.
