Barbie Cake Recipe :
Serves: 10-12
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 40-50 minutes
Decoration Time: 1-2 hours
Components :
For the Cake :
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup milk
Food coloring optional, for layers
For the Frosting :
2 cups unsalted butter softened
6 cups powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Food coloring for decoration
For Assembly :
1 Barbie or similar doll cleaned and wrapped in plastic wrap below the waist
A cone-shaped doll dress cake pan or two round cake pans 6 or 8 inches and one oven-safe bowl to shape the skirt.
Instructions :
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your pans and the bowl.
Make the Cake Batter :
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until smooth.
If you want colorful layers, divide the batter into bowls and add food coloring.
Bake the Cake :
Pour the batter evenly into the pans and bowl. Bake for 30-50 minutes, depending on the size of your pans.
Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
Let the cakes cool completely before assembly.
Prepare the Frosting :
Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix well. Add vanilla extract and milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
Divide frosting into portions and tint with food coloring for your desired designs.
Assemble the Cake :
Trim the tops of the cakes to create flat surfaces. Stack the round layers and place the bowl-shaped cake on top to create a dome.
Carve the cake to smooth out the skirt shape if necessary.
Insert the Barbie Doll :
Wrap the Barbie doll’s lower half with plastic wrap and gently insert it into the center of the cake. If the cake isn’t tall enough, you can add an extra cake layer or use frosting to extend the height.
Decorate the Cake :
Use a crumb coat a thin layer of frosting to cover the cake and lock in crumbs. Chill for 20-30 minutes.
Add a thicker layer of frosting and use piping tips to create ruffles, swirls, or patterns for the dress. Be creative with colors and textures
Serve :
Once decorated, carefully transfer the cake to a display stand. Slice and enjoy!
