Open in Pepper →The Cake He Asks For Every Year
A birthday cake says the thing you don't always say out loud. It doesn't have to be fancy — it has to be his favorite, made at home, with candles on top.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection the week of his birthday, when they know what he likes but need a recipe that actually works the first time.
Every recipe here is a real birthday cake: Southern red velvet cake, birthday cake cupcakes for taking to work, upside down German chocolate cake with coconut and pecans, white German chocolate cake with a cheesecake center, funfetti with vanilla buttercream, and a vegan chocolate cake.
Quick Tips
- 1
Bring butter to room temp
Set butter and eggs out 30 to 45 minutes before you start so the batter creams smooth instead of curdling.
- 2
Line the pans
Grease the pans, then add a circle of parchment on the bottom so a 9-inch layer lifts out whole every time.
- 3
Cool before frosting
Let layers cool in the pan 10 minutes, then on a rack at least 1 hour, or the buttercream will slide right off.
- 4
Toss the sprinkles in flour
Coat funfetti sprinkles in 1 teaspoon of the measured flour before folding them in so they stay put instead of sinking.
