Regarding the yellow cake

Advertisement
  • Set the pan aside and preheat it. Turn the oven on to 350°F, or 180°C. Use three 8″ (20 cm) round cake pans instead of just two 9-inch (23 cm) ones by greasing and flouring them. Put aside.
    Mix the dry ingredients together. Combine the cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing basin. Put aside.

  • Cream sugar and butter oil. Cream the butter, oil, and sugar in a second mixing dish for two to three minutes on medium speed using an electric mixer.

  • Add the vanilla and eggs. One egg at a time, adding and beating thoroughly after each addition. After adding something new, scrape along the sides and bottom of the dish. Include the vanilla extract. Mix by beating.

  • Mix buttermilk into the dry ingredients alternately. Start and finish with the flour mixture, then alternately add the buttermilk and flour mixture. Avoid over-mixing. Once all of the flour has been combined, stop stirring. To make sure it’s not overmixed, I prefer to give the final few stirs with a spatula.

  • Cook. After dividing the batter among the cake pans, level the tops. Bake for approximately thirty to thirty-five minutes. When a toothpick put into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the cake is done. It should also be golden brown on top. After taking the cake out of the oven, let it cool for five minutes before transferring it to a rack to finish cooling.

  • Cake frosting. After the cake cools, I use my homemade chocolate buttercream frosting to decorate it, but you may use any type of frosting. Transfer the bottom layer to a serving dish or cake stand. Spread a layer of frosting over the bottom layer of cake using an offset spatula. Put the second layer on top. Smoothly apply additional frosting to the top and sides. If you’d like, you can pipe swirls and sprinkles on top!

  • Add salt, vanilla, and heavy cream. To prevent the liquids from splattering, add your heavy cream and vanilla extract and mix on low speed. for one to two minutes, or until mixed.

  • Add the chocolate powder and stir. Add the chocolate powder while the mixer is off. Mix until well blended on moderate speed. After adding the cocoa powder, increase the speed to medium-high and continue mixing for five to seven minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy. Can be prepared in advance and stored for up to five days in the refrigerator. Before proceeding, rewhip to a spreadable consistency.

FAQs AND Questions

Can I make this homemade vanilla cake ahead of time?

  • Absolutely! You can bake the cake layers the day before, wrap them well in plastic wrap once they are cooled and keep at room temperature, and frost the next day. You can also make the frosting up to 5 days in advance, and keep it in a container in the fridge. You will need to re-whip the frosting again so it’s a soft consistency to frost your cake with.

Can I freeze this vanilla cake from scratch?

  • You can freeze this cake, frosted or unfrosted, for up to 3 months in your fridge. Just make sure to wrap well (I like to wrap in a few layers of plastic wrap and then place in a zip loc bag or a final layer of tin-foil. Then thaw overnight in the fridge and bring to room temperature before serving.
