BUTTER CREAM ICING (BUTTERCREAM FROSTING)
I use Recipe #95416 when I'm decorating a cake but we like this version on brownies, cookies or undecorated cakes. I cut the recipe in half for brownies. Goes really well on Recipe #2496. Freezes well also. (If you have leftovers, put it between graham cracker for a delicious snack or dessert. My kids love it that way!)

Steps:
- Cream butter and then add vanilla and optional salt. (To cut the sweetness I usually sprinkle some salt in the vanilla, so it will dissolve.).
- Add sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed. Add milk 1 Tbls. at a time and beat on high until completely blended and desired consistency.
VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (FROM SPRINKLES CUPCAKES)
My sister got this buttercream frosting off the box of a Sprinkles Cupcake mix, made famous by Oprah. My sister said this was amazing. Update: I have finally gotten around to making this myself. I will say, that I don't like my desserts overly sweet and. though this was very good, I think I would probably decrease the amount of sugar for my personal taste. I'm glad everyone else has liked it as-is, though. :)

VANILLA BUTTERCREAM POUND CAKE
This cake is an ode to the well-known pound cake from Stocks Bakery in Philadelphia that my family had at every get-together when I was a kid. It's got a velvety melt-in-your-mouth crumb and a smooth vanilla buttercream. Pound cakes have a better taste and texture after resting overnight, so I plan to make this loaf a day before serving, when possible.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the center. Spray an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment paper to cover the bottom and longest sides. Lightly spray the parchment. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in the oil, vanilla, sour cream and warm water then set aside.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. Blend on low speed for 30 seconds to combine.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the butter, a few pieces at a time. Mix until the butter has disappeared into the dry ingredients and the mixture looks like cornmeal, about 2 minutes. Add half of the liquid ingredients and blend on low speed to combine. Raise the mixer to high speed and beat for 30 seconds. Stop and scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula and blend again on high speed for a few seconds. With the mixer on low speed, add half of the remaining liquid ingredients and mix until smooth. Scrape the bowl and then add the remaining liquids and blend on low speed just until combined. Give the batter a few folds with the rubber spatula then scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
- Tap the pan on the counter a few times, place it on a sheet tray and bake in the center of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out with a few moist crumbs, 68 to 70 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes then use an offset spatula to loosen the edges of the cake from the pan. Using the parchment handles, pull the cake out of the pan onto a wire rack and let cool 20 minutes more. Remove the parchment paper and discard. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap while still warm and let cool completely, preferably overnight for the best texture and flavor (see Cook's Note). Meanwhile, thoroughly wash and dry the stand mixer bowl and paddle attachment.
- For the buttercream: Beat the butter on medium speed in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth and shiny, about 1 minute. Add the confectioners' sugar, blend on low speed to combine then beat on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape the bowl and paddle. Add the remaining ingredients and mix on low speed. Scrape the bowl then mix on high speed for 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and mix again on high speed for another few seconds.
- Trim a bit of the cracked crown off the top of the cooled cake, if desired, and then frost the top of the cake with buttercream. Store in a covered cake dome for up to 5 days.
VANILLA SHEET CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
I was searching for a Vanilla Cake recipe for a friend's birthday and could not find what I wanted, so I combined a few recipes and came up with a very moist, flavorful cake. This recipe includes the cake mix extender I used.My DH who does not like a "white cake" loved it and our friend said it might be my best yet. I used bake even strips to ensure a flat top on the cake and baked at a lower temperature. Hope you enjoy it as much as they did.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour (or spray with baking spray) bottom and sides of three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat 3/4 cup butter, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt a good 5 minutes on medium speed until very fluffy and light.
- In a separate bowl, whisk or sift together flour, 3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder and baking powder until very well mixed and no lumps remain.
- Beat eggs (on medium speed) one at a time into butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Add one-third of flour mixture to batter, then add 3/4 cup milk, another third of the flour mixture, the remaining 3/4 cup milk and the 2 teaspoons vanilla, and the remaining flour mixture, stirring to combine after each addition and scraping sides and bottom of bowl occasionally with a spatula. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans.
- Bake cakes 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans on a cooling rack 10 minutes, then remove from cake pans and cool completely on cooling racks.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: In a large mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat 1 cup butter on high speed 4 full minutes until pale, smooth and very creamy. Whisk or sift together powdered sugar and 3/4 cup cocoa powder until very well mixed. On low speed, gradually beat in sugar-cocoa mixture, then 1/2 cup milk, 2 teaspoons vanilla and pinch of salt. Beat on low speed 1 minute, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for a full 3 to 4 minutes until frosting is smooth, light, fluffy and creamy. Add more milk or powdered sugar to thin or thicken frosting as desired.
- Place one fully cooled cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with approximately 1 cup of frosting, in dollops; gently spread to cover entire top of cake layer. Top with second cake layer. Repeat process, topping and spreading with another approximately 1 cup frosting. Top with third cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Cover with a cake dome or upside-down plate until ready to serve.

Steps:
- For the vanilla cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat three 6-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper; spray the parchment and dust the pans with flour, tapping out the excess.
- Whisk the baking powder, salt and 3 cups flour together in a bowl until combined. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Beat in the vanilla. (The mixture may look separated at this point.) Beat in the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the milk and ending with the flour, until just smooth.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans. Bake until the cakes are lightly golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the middles comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edges of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment.
- For the buttercream: Mix together the confectioners' sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix on low speed until well blended, then increase speed to medium and beat for another 3 minutes.
- Add vanilla and cream and continue to beat 1 minute more, adding more cream if needed for spreading consistency.
- Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired. Spread frosting on each layer, stack layers and cover with frosting.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Butter the base and sides of two 20cm cake tins (4cm deep) and line with baking parchment. Put the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat for 2-3 mins until pale, light and fluffy. Alternatively, do this in a bowl using an electric whisk. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between each addition until fully incorporated.
- Mix the cocoa powder, vanilla extract and red food colouring gel together in a small bowl or jug with 2-3 tbsp hot water until you have a smooth, lump-free paste. Tip this into the bowl with the cake batter and whisk briefly to combine.
- Mix the vinegar and buttermilk together in a jug. Combine the flour, bicarb and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. Pour a third of the buttermilk mixture into the cake batter, then mix in along with a third of the flour mixture until fully incorporated. Alternate between the remaining buttermilk and flour mixtures, mixing these in a third at a time until everything is fully combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Divide the cake batter equally between the prepared tins and bake for 30-35 mins until the sponges spring back when gently pressed with a fingertip and a skewer inserted into the centre of each comes out clean. Do not open the oven before 25 mins have elapsed, as this can cause the sponges to sink in the centre. Leave to cool in the tins for 5 mins, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- To make the buttercream, clean out the bowl of the stand mixer, then tip in the butter and vanilla bean paste (or do this in a bowl using an electric whisk). Beat on high speed for about 1 min until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the icing sugar, about a quarter at a time, beating between each addition on a low speed until just incorporated. When all the icing sugar has been added, turn the speed up to high and beat for 1 min. Turn the speed back down to low, then tip in the soft cheese and beat until just combined and smooth.
- Split both of the cooled sponges through the middle using a cake leveller or large bread knife so you have four equally sized, thin layers. Spread a little buttercream over the middle of a 20cm round cake board and top with a sponge layer. Spread buttercream generously over the top of the sponge layer so it sticks out over the edge slightly. Top with a second sponge layer and repeat until you've used all the sponges, inverting the final sponge layer so that the top is flat. Spread any buttercream that's sticking out from between the sponge layers all around the side of the cake using a palette knife to seal the stack.
- Next, spread a thin, even layer of buttercream over the whole cake down to the cake board to seal it completely. Once you have covered the whole cake, clean the palette knife and go around the cake again to smooth the sides and remove any excess. This is called a crumb coat, which seals in any crumbs and will make the finished cake look neater. Chill the cake for at least 30 mins until firm and set.
- Spoon 300g of the remaining buttercream into a bowl and keep chilled to pipe with later. Spoon the rest of the buttercream over the top of the chilled cake (reserving a little to secure the cake to a cake stand), then use a palette knife to spread it to the edge and encourage it to drop slightly over the side. Then, hold the palette knife vertically against the side of the cake and smooth over the buttercream, turning the cake as you go so the side is covered in a thick, even layer (a cake turntable can help with this, if you have one, or see our tip, right). Once you've covered the side, you may wish to clean the palette knife and smooth the top and side again to ensure the buttercream is neat, or do this with a side scraper if you have one. Transfer the cake, on its board, to a cake stand using the reserved buttercream to secure it in place.
- Place the cake, on its stand, on a baking tray (this will catch any excess sprinkles). Press most of the sprinkles around the bottom third of the cake in a thick band, sticking a few up the side in places so it looks as though some have floated away from the band. Use a cutlery or palette knife to gently press the sprinkles into the cake to ensure they're secure, then carefully brush any excess from the stand using a pastry brush. Chill for 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, prepare the shimmering chocolate truffles, if using. Tip a few teaspoons of gold lustre dust into a small bowl, then do the same with the pink lustre dust in another bowl. Divide the chocolate truffles between the two bowls and turn with your fingertips or a teaspoon until fully coated in the lustre dust. Set aside on kitchen paper.
- When the cake is chilled and set, stir the 300g reserved buttercream with a spoon to soften and remove any air bubbles. Spoon into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle, then pipe a thick, swirled border around the top of the cake (this doesn't need to be exact), then scatter the remaining few sprinkles all over the top of the cake and nestle the shimmering truffles in amongst the piped rosettes. Will keep in the fridge for three days.

Steps:
- Prepare the pistachio paste first. Place the shelled pistachios into a food processor, or a blender, and pulse until the pistachios are very well ground. Add in the heavy cream and pulse again until a thick paste forms. Set this paste aside.
- Soften the butter at room temperature until it's lightly softened. Place the butter into a mixer bowl and attach a flat beater. Beat the butter on medium to high speed for 7 to 9 minutes, until the butter is fluffy and white in color. Scrap down the sides of the mixing bowl often to ensure all the butter is well mixed.
- Add in the pistachio paste and vanilla extract next. Beat for a few minutes, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl, until the butter and pistachio paste are well combined.
- Add the confectioner's sugar next. Mix on low speed for, until the sugar is incorporated. Continue to beat on high speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until the buttercream is light and fluffy. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to make the color more pleasant.
- If your buttercream is flat and doesn't become fluffy, place it into the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Once chilled, beat the frosting again until it's fluffy.
- If you're not going to be using the frosting immediately to frost your cake or cupcakes, I recommend keeping it refrigerated.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease three 8-inch round cake pans with butter, shortening, or spray. Line with parchment paper, then grease or spray with cooking spray.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt into a medium bowl.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer beat together the oil, buttermilk until smooth. Add the egg whites and yolk and, shredded apples and beat until smooth.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the dry ingredients just until combined and there are no lumps, do not overmix. The batter should be thick but pourable.
- Pour the batter evenly among the 3 cake pans and bake 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove and let cool almost completely in the pan. Turn the cakes out onto a cooling rack. Allow the cakes cool completely before frosting.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, place one layer on a plate, cake stand, or rotating stand. Spread frosting until half-inch thick, using a dough scraper or flat knife smooth the frosting until level. Repeat for second layer.
- Place the third cake layer by flipping it and placing it top down. This gives you sharp edges for the top of your cake. Frost the cake sides and top using an icing spatula or flat knife and a dough scraper to smooth and level.
- Using an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- Add the vanilla extract and add the cream until the frosting is smooth but still holds it's shape.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two round cake pans by cutting circles of parchment paper to line the bottoms, then lightly spray the insides of the pans with cooking spray.
- Combine the cocoa powder and finely chopped chocolate in a large bowl. Pour the boiling water over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted, then add in the vanilla. Let this cool for a few minutes before stirring in the buttermilk.
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and oil together for 1 minute. Add the dark brown and granulated sugars and beat for another 2-3 minutes, until light and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Add half of this to the batter and mix on low speed just until combined. Pour in half of the chocolate-buttermilk mixture and mix again, just until combined, then repeat with the flour and the remaining chocolate-buttermilk mixture, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions, until everything is incorporated.
