Description

Bring the holiday spirit to your table with this delightful Christmas Tree Cake. Soft, fluffy, and topped with festive decorations, it’s a show-stopping centerpiece and a delicious treat for everyone to enjoy!

 


Ingredients

  • All-Purpose Flour: 2 cups (sifted)
  • Granulated Sugar: 1 ½ cups
  • Unsalted Butter: ½ cup (softened)
  • Eggs: 3 large
  • Baking Powder: 2 tsp
  • Vanilla Extract: 2 tsp
  • Whole Milk: ¾ cup

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Whisk flour and baking powder in a bowl; set aside.
  3. Cream Butter & Sugar: Beat softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
  4. Combine Wet & Dry: Alternate adding flour mixture and milk into the butter mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Bake: Divide batter evenly into pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool & Decorate: Cool cakes completely on wire racks before decorating as a Christmas tree.

Notes

  • For an extra festive touch, use green frosting and colorful sprinkles to mimic tree decorations.
  • Ensure eggs and milk are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Overmixing the batter can lead to a dense cake, so mix just until combined.
