This marshmallow cake consists of soft vanilla layers filled with a creamy marshmallow frosting. It takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 8 people.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Milk: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Prepare Marshmallow Frosting: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of marshmallow frosting on top, then add the second layer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
- Decorate: Optionally, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for a festive touch. Slice and serve.
