Birthday cake recipe, please?

Question

I am having a birthday party in September and I really need a birthday cake recipe for a pink cake any ideas?

Answer 1

My girls loved kool aid cakes. You add 1 packet of unsweetened drink mix, dry,  to your regular cake mix. They liked pink lemonade & cherry kool aid. They add a nice flavor & color.

Answer 2

PEPPERMINT CAKE-----How about using a white cake mix, add a little red food coloring.  Frost with white or pink frosting and sprinkle crushed peppermint hard candies.  Very easy and tasty.

Answer 4

You could just buy a Strawberry cake mix, substituting sour cream for the liquid called for (or strawberry yogurt) - making sure to beat the batter at least 3 min (closer to 5 min is better)....  You can frost it with 2 c. heavy whipped cream, beaten with 1/2 small package of strawberry jello mix, to very stiff peaks .... and put some fresh strawberries on top

Answer 5

Star birthday cake

Ingredients

    * Melted butter or margarine, for greasing

    * 200g butter, at room temperature

    * 330g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar

    * 1 tsp vanilla essence

    * 4 eggs

    * 450g (3 cups) self-raising flour

    * Pinch salt

    * 185mls (3/4 cup) milk

    * Icing sugar, to decorate

    * Hundreds and thousands, to decorate

    * Birthday cake candles

Method

   1. Preheat oven to 160°C.

   2. Lightly grease a round 22cm cake tin with the melted butter or   margarine and line the base with non-stick baking paper.

   3. Use electric beaters to beat butter, sugar and vanilla essence until pale and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the self-raising flour and salt.

   4. On the lowest speed, mix sifted flour into the butter mixture alternately with the milk in 3 separate batches of each. Spoon the cake mixture into the greased and lined cake tin and bake in preheated oven for 85 minutes or until cooked through and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.

   5. Remove from oven and stand in the cake tin for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.

   6. To decorate, use the star shape above as a guide and cut out a template with a star-shaped hole. Trim the top of the cake to form a level surface and turn the cake upside down on a serving plate making the bottom the top.

   7. Sprinkle the surface liberally with icing sugar. Carefully place the star-shape template on the cake and sprinkle with hundreds and thousands to form a star on the surface. Decorate with the appropriate amount of candles.

Answer 6

Just buy a white cake in a box, and then add a few drops of red food coloring. Same with frosting. Or you can buy a strawberry flavored cake (pink!) and strawberry frosting. I hope this helps!
