Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¼ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Pink food coloring (optional, for a pink cake)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pink food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Hello Kitty shaped cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add pink food coloring if desired.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, alternating with the milk, until the frosting is smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add pink food coloring if desired.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost the entire cake with the frosting. Decorate with fondant or other embellishments to create Hello Kitty’s features.
Notes
- Use a Hello Kitty shaped pan for an authentic look.
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh and at room temperature.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake tender.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
