Discover how jicama, a low-glycemic root vegetable, can benefit women with PCOS. Learn about its nutritional value and delicious ways to incorporate it into your diet.
A decadent and very buttery dessert that will impress any guest!
3 sticks unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 cups granulated sugar, divided
8 large eggs, divided
1 tablespoon vanilla extract, plus 1 teaspoon
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
2 sticks butter, softened and divided
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, divided, softened and cubed
6 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup orange juice
For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Grease three 9-inch round baking pans with butter or spray with cooking spray. Flour generously. Alternatively, you can cut out waxed or parchment paper circles to line the bottom of your cake pans.
To prepare the cake, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream 3 sticks butter and 2 1/2 cups sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally to incorporate all the sugar with the butter. Add 5 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Mix the flour mixture into the egg mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix just until incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl down occasionally. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the sour cream.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Tap the bottom of the pans to get rid of any air pockets in the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then remove them from the pans by inverting. Thoroughly cool your cakes on wire racks before frosting them.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate, with the flat bottom side facing down. Spread half of the Butter Filling over the surface of the cake. Top with another cake layer, inverted, so the bottom of the cake is facing up. Spread with the remaining butter filling. Place the remaining cake layer, also inverted, on top. Cover and freeze for at least 1 hour. While the cake is in the freezer, prepare the frosting.
For the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, place 1 package cream cheese, 1 stick butter and 1 tablespoon vanilla and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Beat in the confectioner's sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, with the mixer set on low. If you find the frosting is too soft, just chill it for 10 minutes in the fridge before using.
Remove the cake from the freezer and spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Store the cake, covered, in the refrigerator until the guests arrive.
