Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups cake flour 7½oz/213g
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter 4oz/115g, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar 8oz/225g
- 1 large egg + 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup whole milk 4floz/115ml
- ½ recipe vanilla buttercream
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) then butter and line two 6 inch tins with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer. This should take 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and egg white, mixing well on medium speed until combined.
- Pour in the oil, vanilla extract, and milk and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until the batter is formed.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and bake until golden brown, about 35 to 40 minutes.
- Let cool completely, then gently turn the cakes out onto a cooling wrack.
- Once the cakes have cooled place them on a cake stand or plate. Using a large palette knife spread an even layer of vanilla buttercream across the first layer of cake.
- Place the second layer of cake on top and repeat. Using the remaining frosting spread the frosting around the outside of the cake.
- Do a crumb coat, chill and then repeat the coat with more frosting until the cake is fully covered.
- Decorate as you like, I just added sprinkles and a candle. Smash within 48 hours.
