Homemade Wedding Cake Recipe
Ingredients
Making a wedding cake from scratch requires a few basic ingredients. To make a basic three-tier white wedding cake, you will need: 8 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 cups of butter, 12 large eggs, 4 cups of sugar, 2 cups of sour cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of warm water.
Instructions
To make a white wedding cake, begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease three 9-inch round cake pans with butter and dust them with flour. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix until just combined. Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix until everything is just combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cakes comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Once they are cool, spread a layer of frosting between each cake layer and cover the outside of the cake with frosting. Decorate with fresh flowers, edible decorations, or whatever you choose.
