Her First Smash Cake (And Cupcakes for Us!)
Ingredients
- Butter1 ½ cups
- Avocado½ cups
- Sugar5 ½ cups
- Egg4
- Vanilla5 tsp
- All-purpose flour²3 cups
- Baking powder1 tbsp
- Salt½ tsp
- Buttermilk1 ¼ cups
- Chocolate1
- Heavy cream2–4 tbsp
- Whipped cream1
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line the bottoms of two deep 8-inch round cake pans with parchment and lightly grease the sides.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, cream the butter, canola oil and sugar until light and well combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each.
- Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Using a spatula, fold in the flour mixture and buttermilk alternately by hand, starting and ending with flour. Mix only until combined; small lumps are fine. Do not use a mixer for this step.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes, until the tops spring back and a toothpick in the center comes out mostly clean with few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pans for 10 to 15 minutes, then invert onto a rack and let cool completely before frosting.
