  • Anna bakes the perfect cake for a birthday or any special occasion with this moist and scrumptious Vanilla Birthday Cake with Caramel Pastry Cream! Click 'SHOW MORE' for baking ingredients/instructions.
    Ingredients
    Cake
    ¾ cup (180 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    1⅓ cups (270 g) sugar
    3 large eggs, at room temperature
    2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
    2½ cups (325 g) cake & pastry flour
    1½ (5 g) teaspoons baking powder
    ½ (3 g) teaspoon baking soda
    ¼ (2 g) teaspoon salt
    1 cup (250 ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
    Caramel Pastry Cream
    3 tablespoons (45 ml) water
    1 cup granulated (200 g) sugar
    1 tablespoon (15 ml) white corn syrup
    1 cup (250 ml) whipping cream
    1 recipe Basic Vanilla Pastry Cream, chilled
    Frosting & Assembly
    ¾ cup (180 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
    4-6 (520 g - 780 g) cups icing sugar sifted
    6 tablespoons (90 ml) 2% milk
    1½ (8 ml) teaspoons vanilla extract
    Baking Instructions
    1) For the cake preheat the oven to 350 °F (175 C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper and then flour the sides of the pans, tapping out any excess.
    2) Using electric beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment beat the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
    In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
    3) Add this alternately with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour and mixing well after each addition. Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans.
    4) Bake the cakes for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean. Cool the cakes for 20 minutes in their pans, then carefully turn out to cool completely on a rack.
    5) For the caramel pastry cream, bring the water, sugar and corn syrup to a full boil in a medium saucepot. Boil, uncovered and without stirring, occasionally brushing the sides of the pot with water, until it is a light amber colour. Whisk in the cream gradually (take care for the steam) until fully incorporated, and cool to room temperature. Whisk 1/3 cup of the caramel sauce into the pastry cream and chill until ready to assemble.
    6) For the frosting, use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or using electric beaters, beat the butter until it is fluffy. Add 2 cups of the icing sugar and first beat on low speed to incorporate, then increase the speed to high, until fluffy. Add the milk and vanilla and beat in. Add the remaining 2 cups of icing sugar and beat in, adding further up to 6 cups until a fluffy and spreadable consistency is achieved (the softness of your butter when you begin is the reason you may have to make this adjustment).
    7) To assemble, place the first cake layer on a plate or platter. Fill a piping bag fitted with a plain tip with about a cup of frosting and pipe a ring around the outside of the cake (this prevents the pastry cream from seeping out). Scrape half of the caramel pastry cream into the centre of this and spread to level. Top this with the second cake layer, and spread a thin coating of frosting on the top and sides of the cake and chill for 20 minutes (this is the crumb coat). Now completely coat the top and sides of the cake with frosting and level until smooth. Using a pastry bag fitted with a piping tip of your choice, pipe a design on the top edge of the cake. Stir the remaining caramel sauce into the remaining half of the caramel pastry cream and spread this on the top of the cake. Chill until ready to serve.
    8) The cake can be made up to a day in advance and stored, refrigerated until ready to serve.

    I made the cake today and it came out pretty nice, super moist and perfect vanilla flavour! I didn't have enough butter so I used 1/2 cup of butter and 1/4 cup oil, I also replaced the buttermilk with some watered down vanilla greek yoghurt. The only negative was that there were major air pockets in the cake, even though I knocked the cake tins on the counter several times before putting them in the oven. Next time I will run a knife through the cake batter before baking. Thanks for this great recipe!! It will be my go to any time I need a vanilla cake!
