Celebrate With This Delicious Birthday Cake Recipe!
Ingredients
This delicious birthday cake recipe from Bon Appetit is sure to please any crowd. You’ll need a few basic ingredients to make it: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 sticks of unsalted butter, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups buttermilk.
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch-diameter cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until just incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and beat for a few minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk and beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat until just blended.
Divide the batter between the two prepared pans. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, invert them onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
Frosting and Decorations
For the frosting, you’ll need 2 sticks of unsalted butter, 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and 4 cups of confectioners’ sugar. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium speed until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and beat until blended. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the confectioners’ sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. Spread the frosting onto the cooled cake layers. Decorate with fresh flowers, sprinkles, or whatever you like!
