Traditional Ina Garten Birthday Cake with Vanilla Buttercream

If you love baking and cooking, you may have heard of Ina Garten. She is an American legend! She is a writer and hosts her own TV show called Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network.

INGREDIENTS

01 18 tablespoons of unsalted butter, at room temperature

02 3 cups of sugar

03 6 extra-large eggs, at room temperature

04 1 1/2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract

05 1/3 cup of cornstarch

The first thing we need to do is to preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare the pans we are going to use.

01

We need either 2 9 inch cake pans or, if you wanted the more traditional look, 1 9 inch pan, 1 6 inch pan and 1 3 inch pan.

02

This way, the cake will taper towards the top, looking like a small castle.

03

To prepare them, butter and flour them so that it is easier to take the cake out once they are done. You could also line them with parchment paper if you prefer.
