Ingredients
12 Servings
- 10 grams baking powder
- 400 grams cake flour
- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 240 ml milk
- 300 grams powdered sugar
- 200 grams pudding mix
- 5 grams salt
- 250 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 10 ml vanilla extract
- 5 ml vanilla extract
- 500 ml whole milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
In a large bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In another large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on wire racks.
Step 6
Prepare the pudding mix with the whole milk according to the package instructions. Allow to cool completely.
Step 7
To make the frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Step 8
To assemble the cake, level the tops of the cakes if necessary. Place one layer on a serving plate and spread with half of the pudding. Top with another cake layer and spread with the remaining pudding. Top with the final cake layer.
Step 9
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the buttercream frosting. Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
