Homemade Wedding Cake

 



Easy Everyday White Wedding Cake

 

1 box white cake mix 

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

1 1/3 cup water

1 cup Greek yogurt plain

4 egg whites

2 tablespoons vegetable oil 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

Baking spray

 

Preheat an oven to 325°F. Spray either a 9x 13 baking pan or two 9-inch baking pans with baking spray. Set aside. Place cake mix, flour, and sugar into a large bowl. Mix with electric beater on low speed just until combined. Add water, yogurt, egg whites, oil, and extracts. Mix on low speed until combined, then turn mixer to medium speed and mix for 2 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan(s) and place in preheated 325°F oven. Set timer for 35 minutes. If you begin to smell the cake before the timer goes off, check the cake. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

 

Frosting 

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), softened

3 1/2 -4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)

1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract

3-5 Tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk

 

Beat the softened butter over medium speed with an electric mixer until soft and creamy. Continue to beat over medium speed as you gradually add the powdered sugar. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed to fully incorporate all of the sugar. Once butter and sugar have come together, add the vanilla. Beat in the heavy cream or milk 1 tbsp. at a time until desired consistency is reached. If the frosting is too thin add more powdered sugar, if too thick add more cream/milk.
