Ingredients

Scale

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 cup unsalted butter

softened

4 large eggs

1 cup milk

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup cherry blossoms

chopped

2 cups whipped cream for frosting

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined.
Stir in the vanilla and almond extract, followed by the chopped cherry blossoms.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost the cake with whipped cream and decorate with additional cherry blossoms, if desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh cherry blossoms and ensure they are edible. This cake can also be served with a cherry sauce for added flavor.
