BEST BIRTHDAY CAKE (SMITTEN KITCHEN)



Best Birthday Cake (Smitten Kitchen) image

THIS. This is the recipe I have been searching for! This yellow cake is ridiculously delicious, bakes up beautifully and is delightfully moist. Thanks to Deb over at Smitten Kitchen for sharing this recipe! You can get two 9-inch round, 2-inch tall cake layers, 24 cupcakes, two 8-inch squares or a 9×13 single-layer cake. Cake flour substitution: Simply place 1 tablespoon corn starch in a measuring cup and fill the remainder with flour. Level and sift...it works perfectly!

Time 50m

Yield 1 2 layer 9

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups cake flour (not self-rising flour!)
2 tablespoons cake flour (not self-rising flour!)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups buttermilk, well-shaken (475 ml)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line with circles of parchment paper, then butter parchment. (Alternately, you can use a cooking spray, either with just butter or butter and flour to speed this process up.).
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, then beat in vanilla. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well and scraping down the bowl after each addition.
  • At low speed, beat in buttermilk until just combined (mixture will look curdled).
  • Add flour mixture in three batches, mixing until each addition is just Incorporated.
  • Spread batter evenly in cake pan, then rap pan on counter several times to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a knife around edge of pan. Invert onto rack and discard parchment, then cool completely, about 1 hour.

BEST BIRTHDAY CAKE

I got this recipe from Smitten Kitchen. It is the best vanilla birthday cake I have ever had. It is soooooo buttery and not too sweet. I make this cake for almost every occasion.

Time 40m

Yield 2 9' rounds, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 tablespoons cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 cup)
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Add flour mixture in three batches, mixing until each addition is just Incorporated.
  • Spread batter evenly in cake pan, then rap pan on counter several times to eliminate air bubbles. (I like to drop mine a few times from two inches up, making a great big noisy fuss.) Bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then run a knife around edge of pan. Invert onto rack and discard parchment, then cool completely, about 1 hour.
