Doll cakes are a popular dessert for birthday parties, and they’re perfect for any little girl who loves dolls. This adorable cake is a fun and creative way to celebrate any special occasion.
Ingredient
For the cake: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 2 cups granulated sugar - 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature - 4 large eggs - 1 cup whole milk - 1 tsp vanilla extract - 2 tsp baking powder - 1 tsp salt For the frosting: - 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature - 4 cups powdered sugar - 2 tsp vanilla extract - 4-5 tbsp whole milk - food coloring (optional) For the decoration: - 1 Barbie doll - 1 cup frosting - 1 piping bag - sprinkles or decorations of your choice
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease two 8-inch (20cm) cake pans with butter or cooking spray. 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 3. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. 4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. 5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until everything is well combined. 6. Stir in the vanilla extract. 7. Divide the batter equally between the two cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 8. Once the cakes are baked, let them cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 9. While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined. 10. Add the vanilla extract and milk and beat until the frosting reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. 11. If you want to add color to the frosting, divide it into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl. 12. Once the cakes have cooled, level off the tops with a serrated knife to create an even surface. 13. Place the first cake on a cake plate or board and spread a layer of frosting on top. 14. Place the second cake on top and spread a thin layer of frosting all over the cake, including the sides. This is known as the crumb coat and helps to seal in any loose crumbs. 15. Refrigerate the cake for 15-20 minutes to set the crumb coat. 16. Once the crumb coat is set, spread a thicker layer of frosting over the cake, making sure to smooth it out as much as possible. 17. Fill a piping bag with frosting and pipe a decorative border around the bottom of the cake. 18. Take your Barbie doll and wrap her bottom half in plastic wrap to protect her from the frosting. 19. Insert the doll into the center of the cake, making sure she is securely in place. 20. Use the remaining frosting to decorate the cake with swirls, rosettes, or any other designs you like. You can also add sprinkles or other decorations to make the cake even more festive.
