Instructions
Bake the Cake
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 6-inch round cake pans with butter and a sprinkle of flour.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in vanilla, then alternate adding dry ingredients with milk, mixing just until combined. Add pink food coloring for that Barbie effect.
- Bake: Divide batter into pans, bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Frosting
- Beat Butter: Beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar until fluffy.
- Adjust Consistency: Add vanilla and milk, adjusting for smoothness. Color with pink food coloring for the Barbie gown effect.
Assembling the Barbie Cake
- Layer and Frost: Place the first cake layer on a cake board. Spread frosting between each layer. Carve a small hole in the top layer for the doll.
- Insert the Doll: Wrap the doll’s legs in plastic, then insert it into the cake center.
- Create the Dress: Spread pink frosting around the doll to form the dress, using a spatula or piping bag for details. Decorate with glitter, fondant flowers, or sprinkles.
