How to Make White Floral Cake
Ingredients:
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 200g granulated sugar
- 200g unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 large eggs (approx. 200g)
- 5g baking powder
- 2g vanilla extract
- 2g salt
- 250g unsalted butter (softened)
- 500g powdered sugar
- 10g vanilla extract
- 50g heavy cream or milk
- 100g strawberries (washed and hulled)
- 100g blueberries (washed)
Directions:
-
Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line your cake pans. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually combine the dry mix with the wet ingredients until well combined. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
-
Frosting: In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to mix. Then, add the vanilla extract and heavy cream (or milk) to reach your desired frosting consistency.
-
Decorate: Apply a thin crumb coat of frosting on the cooled cake and refrigerate it for a bit. After that, apply a smooth layer of frosting all around. Decorate the top with the strawberries and blueberries, arranging them to create lovely patterns. You can also use piping tips to add heart details and other fun accents.
