- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon food coloring
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven and prepare the cake pans.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease mini cake pans with butter or non-stick spray.
2. Mix the dry ingredients.
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream butter and add wet ingredients.
In another bowl, cream the unsalted butter until smooth. Then, add in the milk, vanilla extract, and eggs, mixing well.
4. Combine the mixtures.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding until just combined.
5. Distribute batter into pans.
Pour the batter into the prepared mini cake pans, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake the mini cakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and prepare whipped cream.
Once baked, allow the mini cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
8. Color the whipped cream (optional).
If desired, divide the whipped cream into portions and add food coloring to achieve pastel shades.
9. Top the cakes with whipped cream.
Once the mini cakes are completely cooled, generously top each one with the whipped cream.

Arrange the mini cakes on a serving platter and enjoy these delightful treats with family and friends.
