How to Make Barbie Birthday Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a tall, narrow cake pan (at least 6 inches tall to accommodate a Barbie doll). Consider using a disposable pan for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the milk and food coloring (if using).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Carefully insert a Barbie doll into the center, ensuring it's standing upright and secure. You may need to use toothpicks or straws for support.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, frost it with your favorite frosting and decorate as desired. Get creative and have fun with it!
- For best results, use a hollow-legged Barbie doll to ease insertion into the cake
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
