An easy recipe to create a beautiful vanilla naked cake, frosted with vanilla buttercream and topped with meringue drops and fresh fruit. Beat the butter until very creamy then beat in the icing sugar a couple of tablespoons at a time.
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, Tbsp!) finishing decorations (see post above for inspiration!) Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and lightly flour three 9-inch cake pans. Make the cake: Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
For the vanilla cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line three 9-inch round cake pans with parchment circles and spray lightly with cooking spray. Combine the butter, oil and 2 cups sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
The vanilla cake recipe I include below is similar to my vanilla cake recipe, but it has more structure to support the naked cake decorating style. Cake recipes that yield three or four layers provide enough height to work with, but you can easily decorate a two layer cake this way. Tiered cakes are great too– like my homemade wedding cake.
