after babies and having a tea party.

Hope you all had some amazing celebration during Christmas Vacation with your Families and Friends....We had the greatest time this Season celebrating and laughing and eating and more eating....Christmas Eve our munchkin wanted me to bake a Birthday Cake for Jesus and he said he would like a snowman....so here is the cake I made for this Joyous Celebration.....Here is a basic Vanilla Cake Recipe you can use for your next cake! Enjoy!
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pans
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 8-by-2-inch
cake pans plus one snowman dimensional pan for the top of the cake tapping out excess flour. In a medium bowl, whisk flour,
baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar
until light and fluffy. With mixer on low, beat in eggs and yolks, one
at a time. Beat in vanilla. Alternately beat in flour mixture and
buttermilk and sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until
combined.
Divide batter between pans; smooth tops. Do not over fill the snowman cake form...I only added batter to about 2/3 full....Bake until cakes pull
away from sides of pans, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pans 10 minutes.
Run a knife around edges of pans and invert cakes onto a wire rack. Let
cool completely.
Here is the pan I was lucky enough to find at HomeSense.....
and I found a place on-line that has it too..... Toquedechef.com
I am making a whole bunch of Turkey Pies today....so stay tuned for a super easy way to use up all those leftovers!!!
