Instructions

Vanilla Sponge Cake Instructions

For the Vanilla Sponge Cake:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Strawberry Meringue Buttercream:

  1. In a large bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Add the strawberry puree and mix until well combined.
  2. In a separate heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sugar, and salt. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is warm to the touch.
  3. Remove the bowl from the heat and use an electric mixer to beat the egg white mixture until stiff peaks form.
  4. Add the egg white mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, mixing well after each addition.

To assemble the cake:

  1. Place one layer of the cake on a cake stand or serving platter. Spread a layer of the Strawberry Meringue Buttercream over the top of the cake.
  2. Place the second layer of the cake on top of the buttercream. Spread a thin layer of the buttercream over the entire cake to create a crumb coat.
  3. Refrigerate the cake for 20 minutes to allow the crumb coat to set.
  4. Remove the cake from the refrigerator and spread a thicker layer of the buttercream over the entire cake.
  5. Garnish with fresh strawberries, if desired.
