1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions:

Prepare the cake:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a rectangular cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the egg and sugar until light and fluffy, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
Make the buttercream frosting:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.

Assemble the bento cake:

Once the cake has cooled, use a sharp knife to trim off the edges to create a neat rectangular shape.
Cut the cake horizontally into even layers.
Spread a layer of buttercream frosting on top of one cake layer, then place another layer on top and repeat until all layers are stacked.
Use a spatula to frost the top and sides of the cake with a thin layer of buttercream frosting. This is your crumb coat. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the crumb coat.
Once the crumb coat is set, apply a final layer of buttercream frosting to the top and sides of the cake, smoothing it out as much as possible.
Now comes the fun part! Decorate your bento cake with cute designs
Once decorated, chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.
Serve and enjoy:

Carefully slice the bento cake into individual portions using a sharp knife.
Serve on a platter or individual plates, and watch as your guests marvel at the creative presentation and savor every delicious bite.
