Time 3h25m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/4 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
7 large eggs, separated, plus 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
16 ounces strawberries
6 ounces raspberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 sticks (2 cups) unsalted butter
8 ounces vegetable shortening
2 1/2 pounds confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 to 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt and 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, coconut extract and 7 egg yolks in a large bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined and smooth. With an electric mixer, beat the 9 egg whites and the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar in another medium bowl until they reach stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter until combined and the batter is a uniform color.
  • Pour the batter into two ungreased 8-inch round pans. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed, 25 to 40 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pan and cool on a cooling rack for 1 to 2 hours.
  • For the filling: Combine the strawberries, raspberries, granulated sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook about 10 minutes. Add the cornstarch, whisking constantly to avoid lumps; cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool completely. Transfer to a blender and puree.
  • For the buttercream: Cream the butter and shortening with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until completely incorporated. Stir in the vanilla and 1 tablespoon heavy cream and beat until smooth. Add the remaining tablespoon heavy cream if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
  • To assemble the cake: Once the cakes are cooled, level each with a bread knife or cake leveler. Using a pastry brush, generously apply double-berry filling to the top of one cake. Then combine 1/4 cup filling with 1 1/2 cups buttercream; mix thoroughly and spread this over the first filling layer. Place the second cake, leveled-side down, on top. Frost as desired with the remaining buttercream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the buttercream will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and confectioners' sugar that is fresh and free of lumps.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the buttercream, making it smooth and creamy.
  • Add the vanilla extract gradually: This will help to prevent the buttercream from curdling.
  • Do not overbeat the buttercream: Overbeating can cause the buttercream to become grainy.
  • Chill the buttercream before using: This will help it to set and firm up.
  • Use the buttercream within a few days: Buttercream is best when fresh, so it is best to use it within a few days of making it.

Conclusion:

Vanilla buttercream is a classic frosting that can be used to decorate a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and beautiful vanilla buttercream that will take your desserts to the next level.
