Provided by wing118677

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 eggs
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
3 cups sugar
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup whipping cream (also known as Heavy Cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Grease and flour tube (or bundt) pan and set out eggs and butter to allow them to come to room temperature. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating for one minute after each addition. Sift the flour and add it to the creamed mixture alternately with the whipping cream. Mix until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla. Pour into prepared pan and place in a cold oven. Turn the oven to 300 and bake for 80-90 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before removing from pan.

Tips:

  • For a smoother cake batter: Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to mix together more evenly.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan with a non-stick coating: This will help the cake to release easily from the pan.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This AuntSusie's Dreamsicle Cake is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of orange and vanilla flavors is sure to please everyone.
