Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (400g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk, room temperature
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups (500g) powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Blue gel food coloring
  • White fondant
  • Yellow fondant or edible pearls
  • Daisy-shaped cookie cutter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line your cake pans with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
  5. Beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add the blue food coloring and beat until evenly colored.
  6. Spread a layer of frosting between the cooled cake layers. Frost the outside of the cake, smoothing it with an offset spatula. Roll out the white fondant and cut out daisy shapes. Add yellow centers using fondant or edible pearls. Arrange the daisies on the cake as desired.

Notes

Chill the cake layers before frosting to prevent crumbs from mixing into the buttercream. Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors.
