Equipment
- rectangle baking pan (bread pan)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temp
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, room temp
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 4½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1½ cups milk, room temp
- yellow gel food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a rectangle baking pan (loaf pan) with non-stick spray or butter and parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl add the flour, baking powder, and salt and mix together until combined.
- In a stand mixer or a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until nice and fluffy.
- Add vanilla and mix in completely. Add eggs one at a time, fully mixing in after each one.
- Add ⅓ of the dry mixture to the butter mixture and combine then add ⅓ milk and combine. Repeat until all ingredients are added and mixed in. Add gel food coloring and mix until fully combined.
- Add a little batter to the bottom of the rectangle baking pan, no more than ½ inch.
- Take bat cutouts and place them upside down in a line along the top of the batter in the pan (put them in upside down so when you flip your cake after baking they are right side up ?).
- Carefully add the rest of the cake batter around the bats to fully cover. Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Notes
- This cake made quite a bit of batter (more than I needed for the loaf pan for the Batman cake), so I used the extra to make a Naked Marionberry Cake!
