Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup butter, room temperature
2 cups white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs, separated, room temperature
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, room temperature
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan or three 8- or 9-inch round layer cake pans.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating after each one. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Sift together the baking powder, flour, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk. Blend after each addition. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and beat an additional minute.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a dash of salt until stiff peaks form. Fold one third of the egg whites into the cake batter to lighten it; gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Pour batter into prepared pan(s).
  • Bake in preheated oven until cake springs back when touched lightly with a fingertip and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cake layers may be done baking after 25 minutes; a 9x13-inch cake may take 35 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and prepared. For instance, sift the flour, chop the nuts, and soften the butter.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room temperature butter, milk, and eggs for a well-blended batter. This helps emulsify the batter, resulting in a smooth and consistent cake.
  • Proper Measuring: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially flour and sugar, to ensure the correct proportions.
  • Fold Gently: When incorporating the dry ingredients into the wet, use a spatula and fold gently to avoid overmixing. Overmixing can result in a dense and tough cake.
  • Baking Temperature: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before placing the cake batter in. Maintaining the correct temperature ensures even baking.
  • No Peeking: Avoid opening the oven door during the first 30-35 minutes of baking to prevent the cake from sinking.
  • Toothpick Test: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Cooling Completely: Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting or serving. This helps to prevent the cake from falling apart.

Conclusion:

With careful preparation, precise measurements, and attentive baking, you'll create a moist, fluffy, and flavorful Happy Day Cake that will delight family and friends. Remember, baking is a science and an art, so don't be afraid to experiment and personalize the recipe to suit your taste preferences. Celebrate joyful occasions with this delicious cake, knowing that each bite brings happiness and cheer. Happy baking and happy celebrations!
