Description
A delightful dessert with soft layers and beautiful rose decoration, perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 350 g granulated sugar
- 250 g unsalted butter, softened
- 6 large eggs
- 240 ml milk
- 10 g baking powder
- 5 g salt
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 500 g unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
- 1,000 g powdered sugar
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 15 ml vanilla extract (for frosting)
- Pink gel food coloring (for tinting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- For the buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until light and fluffy. Add pink food coloring to achieve the desired shade.
- Once cakes are completely cooled, level the tops if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving platter and spread buttercream on top, then add the second layer. Frost the entire cake with a thin crumb coat and chill in the refrigerator.
- After chilling, frost with a thicker layer of pink buttercream. Use a piping bag with a rose tip to create rosettes around the cake. Optionally add small fondant flowers or other decorations.
Notes
Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy blending. Measure flour accurately for the best texture.
