Ingredients
    Vanilla Cake
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup milk
  • Pink food coloring (optional for the classic Barbie look)
  • Buttercream Frosting
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pink food coloring
  • Decoration
  • A Barbie or similar doll, lower body wrapped in plastic for cleanliness
  • Edible glitter, sprinkles, or fondant flowers for a dress effect
Instructions
  1. Bake the Cake

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 6-inch round cake pans with butter and a sprinkle of flour.
    2. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, sift flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
    3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well.
    4. 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.
    5. 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

    1. Beat Butter: Beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar until fluffy.
    2. Adjust Consistency: Add vanilla and milk, adjusting for smoothness. Color with pink food coloring for the Barbie gown effect.

    Assembling the Barbie Cake

    1. 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.
    2. Insert the Doll: Wrap the doll’s legs in plastic, then insert it into the cake center.
    3. 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.
