Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for a vanilla cream cake:
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
For the vanilla cream filling:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the vanilla cream filling, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- For the frosting, beat together the butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the vanilla cream filling between the layers.
- Frost the entire cake with the vanilla frosting, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Decorate the cake as desired, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Enjoy your delicious vanilla cream cake!
