Description

A delightful sakura essence white cake that captures the spirit of spring with its unique floral flavor and light, fluffy texture.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon sakura essence
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Homemade pink sprinkles for decoration


Instructions

  1. Begin by creaming together the softened butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  2. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  3. Incorporate the sakura essence into the mixture, ensuring it distributes evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Finally, decorate with homemade pink sprinkles before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Instead of a frosting, consider leaving the cake naked to showcase its beauty, or pair with whipped cream or fresh berries.
