Time 2h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the pans
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus 1/4 cup for dusting the pans
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups whole milk (or 3/4 cup heavy cream mixed with 1/2 cup water)
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons whipping cream, plus additional if needed

Steps:

  • For the vanilla cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat three 6-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper; spray the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
  • Whisk the baking powder, salt and 3 cups flour together in a bowl until combined. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.) Beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk and ending with the flour, until just smooth.
  • Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the middles comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment.
  • For the buttercream: Mix together the confectioners' sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on low speed until well blended, then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
  • Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.
  • Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired. Spread frosting on each layer, stack layers and cover with frosting.

Tips for Baking a Perfect Cake with Silky Buttercream Frosting:

- Use high-quality ingredients, especially the butter. This will make a big difference in the taste and texture of the cake. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, which will make the cake light and airy. - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed. - Mix the batter only until it is just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle. - Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. - Use a pastry bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the frosting onto the cake. This will create a beautiful, professional-looking finish.
