- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Red and pink food coloring
Step-By-Step Instructions
1. Preparing the Cake Batter
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until everything is well combined and you have a smooth batter.
Split the batter into three equal parts. Leave one part plain, tint the second part pink using a few drops of pink food coloring, and the third part red using red food coloring. Mix each colored batter until fully incorporated.
2. Baking the Cake Layers
Prepare three 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them with butter and lightly dusting them with flour. Pour each colored batter into one pan. Smooth the tops with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding.
3. Assembling and Decorating
Once the cake layers have cooled, it's time to assemble your Cupid Cake. Start by placing the red layer at the bottom, followed by the pink layer, and finally, the plain layer on top. Spread a thin layer of frosting between each layer to hold them together.
Now, it's all about the frosting! Use your favorite frosting recipe or buy a ready-made one in a flavor that complements the cake. Generously apply the frosting all over the cake, making sure to cover the sides as well.
To add a touch of magic, decorate your Cupid Cake with edible hearts, cherubs, or any other love-inspired decoration you desire. Let your creativity shine!
Tips and Tricks
- For more intense colors, use gel food coloring instead of liquid.
- To achieve perfectly shaped layers, trim the tops of each cake before assembling.
- If you don't have three cake pans, you can bake one layer at a time, just make sure to let the pans cool down before pouring the next batter.
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider filling the layers with a delicious fruit preserve or chocolate ganache.
With this comprehensive guide, you are now equipped to dazzle your loved ones with a showstopping Cupid Cake. Enjoy the process of creating this sweet masterpiece and make sure to take pictures to capture the precious moments. Let the cake be a symbol of your love and care, as you share it with those closest to your heart. Happy baking!
