VANILLA CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM 

I​NSTRUCTIONS

Vanilla Cake:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two 8" cake rounds and line with parchment.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
3. Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, and sugar on med-high
until pale and fluffy (approx 3mins). Reduce speed and add eggs one at a time fully
incorporating after each addition. Add vanilla.
4. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour (3
additions of flour and 2 of milk). Fully incorporating after each addition.
5. Bake for 30-35mins or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
6. Place cakes on a wire rack to cool for 10mins then turn out onto wire rack.

Vanilla Buttercream:
1. Place egg whites and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk until combined.*
2. Place the bowl over a pot with 1-2" of simmering water and whisk constantly until the
mixture is hot and no longer grainy to the touch or reads 160F on a candy thermometer
(approx. 3mins)
3. Place the bowl on your stand mixer and whisk on med-high until the meringue is stiff and
cooled (the bowl is no longer warm to the touch (approx. 5-10mins)).
4. Switch to the paddle attachment. Slowly add cubed butter and mix until smooth.**
5. Add vanilla and whip until smooth.

Assembly:
1. Place one layer of cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with approximately 1 cup of
buttercream. Repeat with the remaining layer and crumb coat the cake. Chill for 20mins.
2. Frost the top and sides of the cake and smooth with a bench scraper.
3. If desired, use a decorating comb to give texture to the sides.***
4. Mix confetti and nonpareils in a small bowl. Press sprinkles gently along the bottom of
the cake and sprinkles along the top. For the speckled sides, I grabbed a pinch of
sprinkles and tossed them randomly at the sides.
5. Pipe rosettes using a 1M tip with the remainder of the frosting.
