This cake is layered with love and filled with flavors that dance on your taste buds. But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s talk about what you’ll need to make this tasty creation.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups of all-purpose flour
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of jam (your choice – raspberry, apricot, or strawberry work great!)
- 2 cups of whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans because we want our cake to come out smoothly.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add this dry mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once the cakes are cooled, spread a generous layer of jam on top of the first layer, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Place the second layer on top and repeat the process with more jam and whipped cream.
- Top off your creation with the third layer and cover the whole cake with more whipped cream, decorating as you like.
- Slice it up and enjoy every bite. Share it or keep it all to yourself; we won’t judge!
And there you have it—the Best Russian Layer Cake that’s bound to impress. So get in that kitchen, chef it up, and bring some joy to your taste buds!
