How to make birthday cake:
- To start preparing this easy birthday cake, the first step to do is cream the butter with the help of some manual rods or, if you want to save time, with a mixer; then add the sugar and continue beating until well combined and creamy.
- Next, add the essence of vanilla or brandy, depending on whether it is the birthday cake for children or for adults (in the first case, do not use any type of alcohol). Then you have to add the egg yolks one by one. You add one and beat, then the other and beat and so on.
- Then add the flour alternating with the milk little by little, and when all the dough for the birthday cake is well mixed, turn off the mixer and proceed to beat the egg whites until stiff, and then add them to the mixture in an enveloping way with a wooden spoon or pastry tongue.
- Pour the mixture of the children’s birthday cake into a greased mold. Bake at 350 ºF or 180 ºC for 45 to 50 minutes, and at the end, always check with an orange stick to see if the cake is already done or if it needs a little more.
- Once the birthday cake is well baked, we let it cool to room temperature and then unmold it and cut it in half horizontally to fill it with a homemade whipped cream or cherry jam, for example, or another flavor that you prefer
- To decorate the original and easy birthday cake, you can do it by smearing it evenly with a homemade cheese frosting or simply whipping liquid cream or milk cream and adding sugar. Finally, write the word “congratulations” or “happy birthday” with the edible colored pencils and enjoy the party!
- Although in reality, you can always use the decoration you prefer and change it to your liking. Here we give you these options but you can fill and decorate your birthday cakeas you wish. Let your imagination fly!
