Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1-1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup 2% milk
FROSTING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream
Blue and pink paste food coloring

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. Line bottoms of 2 greased 8-in. round baking pans with parchment; grease and flour paper., In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition., Transfer to prepared pans. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in each center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove parchment. Cool completely., Place a large bowl and beaters in freezer until cold, about 15 minutes. In chilled bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in cream until firm peaks form. Tint 1-1/4 cups blue and 1/4 cup pink (switch measurements if it's a girl), and leave remaining frosting white., Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Pipe a circle of white frosting around top edge of layer. Spread 1 cup blue (or pink if it's a girl) frosting inside white frosting. Top with remaining cake layer.

Tips:

Choose a cake mix that is sturdy enough to hold the filling. A dense cake, such as a pound cake or chocolate cake, will work well. Avoid light and fluffy cakes, such as angel food cake or sponge cake, as they may not be able to support the weight of the filling.
Make sure the cake is completely cool before assembling it. If the cake is still warm, the filling may melt and leak out.
Use a sharp knife to cut the cake in half. A dull knife may tear the cake and make it difficult to assemble.
Be careful not to overfill the cake. Too much filling may cause the cake to collapse.
Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and make the cake easier to slice.

Conclusion:

A surprise-on-the-inside gender reveal cake is a fun and creative way to announce the gender of your baby. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a cake that will wow your guests and leave them talking about it for years to come.
