How to Make Dump Truck Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  7. Pour batter evenly into prepared pans.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes for cakes, or 18-22 minutes for cupcakes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
