Fairy Shaped Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 tsp baking powder
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 2 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup whole milk
– Pink and purple food coloring
– Buttercream frosting
– Assorted edible decorations (e.g., sprinkles, edible glitter, sugar pearls)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a fairy-shaped cake pan with butter and flour.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Divide the cake batter into two bowls. Tint one bowl with pink food coloring and the other with purple until you reach the desired shades.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, alternating between the two colors to create a marbled effect.
8. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
