Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups milk
- 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- Food coloring (blue, purple, and white for the celestial effect)
Frosting
- Buttercream frosting (your favorite recipe or store-bought)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until smooth.
- Divide the batter into three bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl—blue, purple, and leave one bowl white. Mix until you get the desired colors.
- Pour the colored batter into the prepared cake pans. Use a skewer or knife to swirl the colors together for a dreamy effect.
Baking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting and Serving
- Once cooled, frost the layers with buttercream frosting and decorate as desired with celestial patterns.
Notes
Serve at room temperature. Enhance the look with fun decorations like star-shaped sprinkles or edible glitter. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze layers before frosting for up to three months.
