Episode 3 of making recipes dedicated to people🥹Mini plant themed bday cake for @breezzzycuth 💐 Also used a whole stick of @kerrygoldusa butter so you know it’s real 😫
Start by making the cake. In a mixing bowl, cream together (using whisk or hand mixer) 1 cup of cane sugar and 1/2 cup of softened butter. Mix in 2 large eggs, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of milk. Then, add the dry ingredients. Mix in 1 & 1/2 cups of all purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Whisk (or use an electric hand mixer) everything together until SMOOTH. Don’t overmix though :) Grab 2 6 inch round cake pans. Grease them and then divide your batter equally into the pans. Bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool for 30 minutes. While the cake is cooling, whip up the frosting. Add 1 cup of softened butter, 2 tsp of vanilla extract, 4 cups of powdered sugar, 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 2 tsp of lemon zest, and a tbsp of milk to a mixing bowl. Whisk or use hand mixer to mix until fluffy. Once the cakes have cooled, remove them from the pans, and spread 1/4 cup of blood orange curd on top of one of the cakes (recipe for the blood orange curd is on my feed…but you could also use fresh raspberries, jam, etc) Place the other cake on top and then frost the cakes! Sprinkle with dried lavender, rose petals, lemon zest, and fresh rosemary :) Enjoy!
