Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix for 2 9-inch pans [(or this homemade yellow cake recipe)]
For the filling:
- 5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoons powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- For the cake, prepare yellow cake according to package directions (for 2 9-inch layer cake pans). Cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, combine the flour with milk, whisking until lumps removed. Turn on medium heat and continue to whisk until mixture becomes thick, like a pudding.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar, beat until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Slowly add in the COOLED milk mixture, beating until combined. It may curdle slightly in the beginning, that's okay, keep beating until it becomes the texture of whipped cream!
- Place first layer of cooled cake on a cake plate. Top it with ALL of the cream filling. Add the second layer of cake on top.
- Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Bake the yellow cake in two 9-inch layer pans. Remember to line the bottom of your pans with a layer of parchment paper and baking spray. Or use my homemade cake release instead!
- I use Wilton Bake Even strips for the cake layers. These little strips ensure the layers stay even on both sides while baking, creating a perfect appearance and great taste.
- Let the milk and flour mixture cool completely before adding it to the butter and cream. Keep beating until it becomes the texture of fluffy whipped cream.
- Use a sifter or confectioner’s sugar duster to add the powdered sugar to the top of the cake for a smooth appearance and consistency.
