Рецепт Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream
Magnolia's Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream and purple sprinkles on the side in an ombre effect. This was our daughter's request for her birthday. Fortunately, I watch Project Runway, so I was familiar with the ombre (graduated color) concept. I mixed purple and white sugar crystals with varying the amounts, but applying them to the side of the cake was so difficult that I'll need an air brush before I try to get this look again. . . oh well, I tried, and I know she appreciated the effort.
Even though my ombre wasn't what I'd hoped for, the cake - plain and simple, was delicious, moist and tender with a delicate crumb. This will make 24 cupcakes if you prefer (bake 20 - 25 min.)
