Instructions
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch sheet pan.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Make the Buttercream:
- Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix on low speed. Add heavy cream until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Divide the buttercream into two bowls. Tint one pastel pink and the other lavender using gel food coloring.
- Assemble and Decorate:
- Spread the pink buttercream evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
- Pipe floral designs with the lavender buttercream using a small star or petal tip.
- Arrange edible butterfly toppers and apply gold leaf for accents.
- Final Touch:
- Chill the cake for 30 minutes to set the decorations.
- Slice and serve at room temperature.
