Easy How to make a Mother's Day Cake

.

- Hello, everybody, welcome back, welcome to day one of my Valentine's, not Valentine's day, whoa, no. Welcome to day one of my Mother's Day theme week where I'm gonna be uploading a Mother's Day theme recipe every single day this week from Monday to Friday. So we're starting off with a Mother's Day cake, which is a raspberry vanilla cake with "Happy Mother's Day" written on top, and I am going to show you this super easy hack, on how to pipe lettering on cake, so easy and fail-safe, literally anybody can do this so don't worry,

you don't need a study hand, anybody can do this. So let's get started. First to bake the cake you wanna place some butter and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer

until it's pale and fluffy. Add some vanilla bean seeds and eggs, one at a time, mixing with each addition. In a separate bowl, mix together some flour, baking soda, and salt.

Then add this to the butter mixture in two additions, alternating with some sour cream.

Divide the batter between two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes,

or until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Once they're cool you wanna slice the tops and bottoms off of each cake to create a flat cake, and remove any excess browning.

So this is just gonna make it look prettier when you slice it. Then slice each cake in half to create two layers per cake.

Throw some raspberry jam onto the cake and then spread some vanilla buttercream for the filling on top. And I'll have the recipe for the buttercream included in this cake recipe which is linked in the description box below.

Then repeat with the other two layers of the cake and then coat the cake evenly

in some more buttercream. Then you wanna print out from your computer any kind of message that you'd like to pipe onto the cake. I place it on a small baking sheet and then place the sheet of parchment paper on top and secure it to the baking sheet with some buttercream.

And then place the buttercream in a piping bag fitted with a really small round piping tip, and then just trace the message with the buttercream, going over it multiple times to create thick letters.
