Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round cake pans.

In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set it aside.

In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until just combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until smooth.

Divide the batter into two bowls. Add black food coloring to one bowl and gold to another, mixing until you achieve the desired colors.

Pour the black batter into one cake pan and the gold batter into the other. Use a spatula to spread them evenly.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Once cooled, frost the top of one cake layer with white frosting, place the other layer on top, and frost the whole cake evenly.

Add edible gold glitter and place the black ribbon or bow on top for a finished look.
