Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 cups buttercream frosting white, for decorating
  • 1 sheet black fondant for Hello Kitty's eyes and whiskers
  • 1 sheet yellow fondant for Hello Kitty's nose
  • 1 sheet pink fondant for Hello Kitty's bow

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch cake pans.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk alternately, mixing until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frost the cooled cakes with white buttercream frosting, smoothing the top and sides.
  • Roll out the black fondant and cut out Hello Kitty’s eyes and whiskers. Place them on the frosted cake.
  • Roll out the yellow fondant and cut a small oval for Hello Kitty’s nose. Place it below the eyes.
  • Roll out the pink fondant and shape it into Hello Kitty’s bow. Position it on the upper left side of the cake.
  • Chill the cake for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Customization: Use food coloring to tint the frosting or add sprinkles for extra decoration.
  • Decorating Tip: If you don’t have fondant, pipe the details using colored frosting instead.
