Vanilla Bean Cake with Buttercream Frosting

Vanilla Bean Cake with Buttercream Frosting

[For Cake]

Ingredients

6 egg; separate into whites and yolks

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 ¾ cups sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 vanilla bean

3 cups cake flour

3 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup whole milk

Instructions

  • Separate eggs; let eggs stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Line two greased 9-in. round baking pans with non-stick spray; set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup of sugar until it is light and fluffy. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Split vanilla bean and scrape seeds into creamed mixture. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition.
  • In a small bowl with clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on high until stiff peaks form. Fold a fourth of egg whites into the batter, then fold in remaining whites. Transfer to prepared baking pans.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

[For Buttercream]

Ingredients

4 cups confectioner’s sugar, sifted

1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup salted butter, softened

3-5 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • Using a paddle beater, beat softened butter on medium speed for about 3 minutes.
  • Add Sifted confectioner’s sugar and stir on low until incorporated.
  • Add vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Beat on medium-high for 3 minutes, stopping to scrape the sides once or twice.
  • If a thinner frosting is desired, add additional heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
