Homemade Hello Kitty Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 2 ½ tsp baking powder
– ½ tsp salt
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup whole milk
– Pink food coloring
– White fondant
– Black icing
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter into two equal parts. Add a few drops of pink food coloring to one part and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
7. Pour each batter into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assembling the Cake:
1. Once the cakes are completely cooled, use a serrated knife to level the tops if necessary.
2. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a thin layer of frosting on top.
3. Carefully place the second cake layer on top.
4. Cut out the shape of Hello Kitty’s face from the white fondant and place it on top of the cake.
5. Use the black icing to pipe the eyes, nose, and whiskers onto the fondant face, following a Hello Kitty design.
6. Use extra white fondant to create Hello Kitty’s signature bow and place it on top of her head.
