Ingredients

Here is what you need to make the Snowflake Cake:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of milk

For the Frosting

• 1 cup of unsalted butter, room temperature
• 4 cups of powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2-3 tablespoons of milk
• Blue food coloring
• White sprinkles or sugar crystals

Instructions

Follow these steps to make your Snowflake Cake:

Step 1: Preheat And Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this bowl aside for now.

Step 3: Cream Butter And Sugar

In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This takes about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add Eggs And Vanilla

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Combine Wet And Dry Ingredients

Now, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Do this in three parts, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 6: Bake The Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The cakes are ready when a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 7: Make The Frosting

While the cakes cool, make the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing well. Add the vanilla extract and milk. Beat until the frosting is smooth and spreadable. Add a few drops of blue food coloring and mix well.

Step 8: Assemble The Cake

Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

Step 9: Decorate The Cake

Now for the fun part! Decorate the cake with white sprinkles or sugar crystals. You can make snowflake shapes or just sprinkle them all over. Be creative and have fun!
