How To Make A Toilet Paper Cake
From Sugar High Score:
I’m running low on toilet paper right now so I thought it would be fun to make my own toilet paper out of CAKE. Enjoy!
Below is my favorite vanilla cake recipe. You can make three 5″ round cakes, or three 6″ round cakes and trim them down (like I did in the video). You will have extra batter leftover which can be used to make extra cake or cupcakes for snacking on. :)
Super Easy Vanilla Cake Mix Recipe
This cake recipe is simple to make and so delicious! It stays moist, is easy to work with and carve, and is stable enough to cover in fondant.
Ingredients
• 2 boxes white cake mix (I use Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• 2 2/3 cups water
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 4 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups sour cream (room temp)
• 6 large eggs (room temp)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
2. Prepare pans by lining with parchment paper and spraying sides with baking spray with flour.
3. Combine all dry ingredients in mixing bowl. (I like to run the cake mixes through a sieve to get out all the lumps) Whisk together the dry ingredients.
4. Add the remaining ingredients and mix on medium speed for a couple of minutes.
5. Bake for 40 – 60 minutes depending on the size of your cake pans. Start checking with a toothpick around 40 minutes.
6. This will make two 6” round cakes and two 8” round cakes that are 2” deep.
Vanilla American Buttercream
Ingredients
• 4 sticks unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 6 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip the butter until it is light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2. Add vanilla, salt and heavy cream and mix until fully incorporated.
3. Slowly add the powdered sugar.
4. Turn the mixer up to high speed and whip for 2 minutes until the buttercream is light in color. Hand stir to remove any air bubbles.
