Vanilla Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and lightly spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray. Line the pan with a parchment paper sling and secure the sides with metal (oven-safe) binder clips, then spray again.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on low speed until well mixed, about 1 minute. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter and beat until the mixture resembles coarse sand, about 4 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and beat just until combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. Peel off the parchment paper and let cool completely.
Peanut Butter Frosting
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and peanut butter on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in the confectioners' sugar one cup at a time on low speed, then beat in the vanilla. Turn the mixer to medium-high speed about beat for 3 minutes, or until smooth and fluffy.

October 13, 2018

Hellooo there and welcome back!! Today we are making a cake inspired by one of my all-time favorite TV shows–“The Great British Bake Off”! 😁 I ABSOLUTELY love the show, from the laid-back (but far from boring!) atmosphere, amazing baked creations, and of course, the judges and hosts! All so amazing. So today I thought it would be fun to create Steven’s Giant Sandwich Cake from Episode 1 of the latest season (Season 5)! Enjoyyyy!!

Instructions
Vanilla Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray six 6-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line the pans with parchment paper and lightly spray again. If you don't have six pans, you will have to bake the batter in batches. Note that this may mean the last batch of cakes may come out slightly flatter than the first batch.
  2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on low speed until well mixed, about 1 minute. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter and beat until the mixture resembles coarse sand, about 4 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and beat just until combined.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between six bowls, then color one of each bowl pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Pour one color of batter into each pan and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. Peel off the parchment paper and let cool completely.
Buttercream Frosting
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low, gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, and beat until combined. Beat in the vanilla and milk until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat the frosting on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  2. Use approximately 2/3 of the frosting to frost the white portion of the unicorn and the remaining frosting for the mane. For the mane frosting, color the frosting as desired (I split the frosting into three and colored one of each pink, purple, and blue)
