How to Make Family Fun's Butterfly Cake For Dummies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cakes are completely cool, use a butterfly-shaped cookie cutter (or freehand cut) to create butterfly shapes from each cake layer.
- Frost the butterfly shapes with your favorite frosting and decorate with sprinkles, candies, or fresh fruit to create beautiful butterfly wings.
- Arrange the butterfly cake pieces on a serving plate to create a stunning centerpiece.
