Author: Gemma Stafford
Servings: 1 small cake
Ingredients
  • 1 ½cups (7½ oz./213g)cake flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½cup(4 oz./115g) butter(at room temperature)
  • 1cup (8 oz./225g)granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½cup(4 FL oz./115ml) whole milk
  • 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.
