How to Make a $10 Smash Cake at Home in ADVANCE
If you're going to let a cake get completely mushed--might as well save some money and make it yourself! What a great memory it will be for you to look back on the photos (which is why we make these types of cakes, right?) and remember that YOU made the cake for your little one. With so much to do on a first birthday, it's super useful to be able to make this ahead of time.
Not a parent? No problem! This cake design is also so versatile that it could literally be used for anything. Want to make your own wedding cake ahead of time? Simple birthday cake? Making a cake for one or two? Running a home based business and you like to have stock cakes? DONE!
This is not my original recipe, but I have misplaced where I found it from! Please let me know if you know where this is from and I will credit it accordingly. I multiplied the original ingredients by 4 so I could make large batches of cakes. This recipe makes around 6 6 inch cake pans.
Dry Ingredients:
5 Cups Cake Flour (I often sub for all purpose flour which changes the crumb slightly, but it's still good)
5 Teaspoons Baking Powder
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
Wet Ingredients:
8 Eggs
3 Cups Sugar
2 Cups Buttermilk (or whole milk with two teaspoons of lemon juice added into it)
2 Cups Vegetable Oil
Tools I Used:
Metal Spatula
Metal Bench Scraper
Tipless Piping Bag
Edible Food Dye
Beautiful baking, Sweeties!

I use vinegar instead of lemon juice because it makes the milk curdle faster. Of course, I've tried lime juice, not lemon juice.
How do you freeze it? Does it need to be put in a big container or wrapped in plastic or anything? And then defrost overnight in the fridge or right on the counter?

Put it in the fridge first and then once it’s solidified, wrap it in plastic wrap and then place it into a container or if you have enough freezer room you can leave it just double wrapped. To defrost, put it out on the counter or fridge and take off the wrap right away. It will defrost fully in about an hour or two. Hope that helps!
Is it possible to make a vid on scaling recipes up or down? Thanks.
Can I use a habdheld mixer?
I will be using six 4x2 round pans... I would like to make them at 325 to avoid domes... In your opinion should I bake all six at one time if so how many minutes? Orrrr 3 at a time and how many minutes again at 325 thanks in advance ☺️
Is the recipe you gave for 12 cupcakes or for 24 cupcakes? Or for two round 8" cake pans?
Does the original recipe call for eight eggs? That's the one in the information box. I don't need so much batter. Can i make half the amount and make one 9" or 8" cake?
Do you have a recipe for less batter, or can I use this batter to make 12 or 24 cupcakes, two 8" or 9" round cake pans, or a 9 x 13" baking dish? Also, can you make a chocolate cake by simply adding powdered cocoa to this recipe?
How many smash cakes does this recipe make? Thanks! :)
Hi there wondering if you could share any of your meringue icing recipe?
What color exactly did you use in this cake? It looks beautiful

I believe I used Americolor airbrush electric blue actually. I mixed it in just like a regular edible food gel.

I think one drop or two of plain old blue food coloring would make that color (start with one drop, you can always add more, but cant take away if you add too much). When I make oobleck (cornstarch and water, turns into a white substance like toothpaste) as a science experiment with kids, one or two drops of blue food coloring in a pint of white ooblek turns that exact turquoisey color. Good luck!
If I want to make a single smash cake, can you tell me exactly how much ingredients I need

My cakes were not done after 25 minutes, did I over mix or why would this be, they are smaller than yours as well

Oven times vary a lot so not to worry if it wasn’t finished; just place it in for a bit longer and tent with foil if it’s too brown

For the buttermilk, if I need to cut your measurements by half would I also cut down the lemon juice in the milk by half?

Theoretically 3 months, but I would say guaranteed 1 month with no noticeable difference in taste.
What can I use if I don’t have Saran Wrap?

I've used sandwich bags. You have to try to get a much air out as possible though. That's why saran wrap is so good because you can shape it to the cake.

If you just make the single smash cake, it can feed around 8-10. If you make the full recipe I provide in the description, it can feed probably 30-40 people depending on how hungry they are! 🥰

I usually add the soda and baking powder to the flour, then mix with a whisk or sift together.
Does this recipe work well for cupcakes too?
