Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spatula
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 2 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • q.s. Pink gel food coloring for color
  • q.s. Black gel food coloring for details
  • q.s. Yellow gel food coloring for the bow

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition and scraping down the sides.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Add vanilla extract with the last milk addition.
  • Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans and tap gently to release air bubbles.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling racks and letting cool completely.
  • Make the buttercream by beating softened butter, then gradually adding powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
  • Divide frosting into portions and tint with gel food coloring as needed.
  • Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate, adding frosting, then placing the second layer on top.
  • Apply a crumb coat, refrigerate for 30 minutes, then apply a final coat of frosting.
  • Decorate with Hello Kitty features using fondant or colored buttercream.
  • Add finishing touches like sprinkles, edible glitter, or decorative elements around the cake.
