A moist, fluffy, light, and yet beautiful Robins Blue Egg Cake that calls spring and Easter all over.
This soft, light, and fluffy Vanilla Robins Blue Egg Cake is perfect for an Easter party or any spring birthday. This cake has layers of a delicious and velvety cake wrapped in a creamy and smooth American Butter Cream.
About This Robins Blue Egg Cake
- This Robins Blue Egg Cake uses my Vanilla Cake recipe. This vanilla cake is the definition of a delicious fluffy, and moist vanilla cake. This recipe has a list of simple and basic ingredients that, in combination, make this exceptionally good cake.
- Let's look at the ingredients: All-purpose Flour, Baking Powder, Soda, Sugar, Oil, Sour cream, Eggs, Vanilla extract, Milk, and Buttermilk. Some ingredients may need some explanation as follows:
- As you can see, this recipe only uses oil, which keeps the cake crumb moist for a longer time.
- Another source of fat in this recipe is the Sour Cream. Sour cream contains a lot of fat and adds a tangy flavour to the cake.
- This recipe calls for buttermilk, an acidic ingredient. When it comes in contact with leaveners such as baking powder, it fluffs up the cake crumb.
- This Robins Blue Egg Cake recipe uses one tablespoon of cornstarch. Cornstarch helps to create a tender and soft crumb.
- The frosting has the essential ingredients that American Buttercream requires; however, you must know how to create the Robins Blue Egg effect. Dye the buttercream turquoise by adding a small amount of yellow to the sky blue. I use Ameri Colour.
How To Make This Cake
- Sift all dry ingredients and set them aside.
- Mix milk and buttermilk in a bowl and set aside.
- Whisk the oil, eggs, and vanilla extract for 2-3 minutes using the whisk attachment.
- Add the sugar and keep whisking.
- Next, add the sour cream and whisk well.
- Start adding the dry ingredients alternating with the milk mixture. Start and finish with dry ingredients. This will be three portions of dry ingredients and two portions of milk mixture.
- This Robins Blue Egg Cake batter will make two 8-inch or 6-inch cakes.
- Line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 35 minutes.
- Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, flip them onto the cooling rack and let them cool completely.
- Prepare the frosting and bring it to the desired colour. Frost the cool cakes.
- Top the cake with Mini Easter Eggs.
