Vanilla Easter Cake

March 28, 2018

For anyone that gave up sweets for lent (or pretty much anyone that likes cake), you’re going to want to make this deliciously sweet vanilla Easter cake. I tried giving up sweets for Lent and failed miserably, but it’s okay because I made this cake a couple times and it was so worth it. It’s moist and light and sweet and dense…pretty much everything you want a vanilla cake to be! Since Easter is this Sunday I decided to decorate with some Cadbury eggs to make it festive. Perfect for any Easter brunch that everyone is sure to love.

Vanilla Easter Cake Recipe

Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE:

1 1/2 cups salted butter (3 sticks), softened

2 1/4 cups sugar

4 egg whites, room temperature

3 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 cups whole milk, room temperature

BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:

1 1/2 sticks salted butter, softened

1 box confectioners sugar (16 oz)

2 tablespoons heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

FOR THE CAKE:

-Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two, 9″ cake pans with butter or shortening.

-Cream butter and sugar together for 2 minutes. The butter will be light and fluffy.

-Add egg whites, vanilla, and almond extract, beating for 1 minute, no more or the consistency will change.

-In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder.

-Add about a third of the flour to the wet mixture and beat until incorporated.

-Alternate adding the flour and milk mixtures to the butter mixture, ending with the flour mixture. Don’t overmix.

-Divide the batter into pans and bake for 28-38 minutes.

-Cool in pans for 10 minutes and then move to a cooling rack until completely cooled.

BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:

-Cream butter for about 3 minutes, making it light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix until combined.

-Mix in a third of the confectioner’s sugar, alternating with heavy cream until well blended.

-Frost the middle and top of the cake and decorate with sprinkles or Cadbury eggs if desired.

Hi, I’m Kelly!

When I became a mom I completely lost myself. I was exhausted and anxious and knew that I could be more than just a tired mama. Now I've built a life I'm proud of as a stay at home mom. I want to show tired mamas that you don't have to choose between yourself and your kids. You can build a life you're proud of too!
