FRENCH VANILLA CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease, line and flour two 23cm/9in round pans.
• Sift the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) together and set aside.
• Beat 100g softened butter for 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat another 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
• Add the flour mixture, 100g at a time, alternating with the milk and ending with the flour mixture. Add the vanilla and mix well. Pour evenly into the prepared cake pans.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or when a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Transfer cakes to a rack and cool for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the cake, unmold them and peel off the paper liner. Invert and cool to room temperature, right side up (These cooled cakes may be wrapped airtight and stored at room temperature overnight, or frozen up to two months).
• For the frosting, place 100g softened butter in a mixing bowl with 350g of the icing sugar. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla and milk; mix well. Add half of the remaining icing sugar and mix, adding more until you reach the desired consistency to spread. You may not need all of the sugar specified. Beat until light and fluffy; spread on cooled cake.

FRENCH VANILLA BERRY CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Make the cake as instructed on the box when adding the water only add 1 cup and add the applesauce in place of the remaining water. This will add moistness to the cake. Bake the cake as instructed on the box.
• 2. Once cake is cooled, using a cake leveler cut the cake into two layers. Slide the top layer onto a plate or cookie sheet and put to the side. Using a piping bag and plain tube cake decorating tip (larger one) create a border on the bottom layer (with the butter cream icing). Spread the preserve/jam onto the bottom layer. Now place the top layer evenly to cover the preserves/jam. Your cake is ready to be frosted. The recipe below makes roughly three cups which should be sufficient to frost an entire 9" round cake. Make more as desired.
• 3. Place your strawberries on the cake when you're ready to serve, this will avoid having water on your frosting from the strawberries. Be creative in your decoration, top your cake with sliced strawberries, place them around the cake, etc...possibilities are endless. You can also add all the berries found in the preserves/jam.
• 4. My Tips: Substitute half of the water with half fruit juice in the cake mix; it'll add another level of flavor and moisture. You can also make cupcake versions of this cake. I made Wilton's butter cream icing, use your favorite!
