Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and smooth. - Bake the Cake
Pour the cake batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan or two 9-inch round cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. - Make the Frosting
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and fluffy. - Frost the Cake
Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top of the cake (or between the layers if using round cakes). Smooth it out with a spatula or a knife. - Prepare the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. The glaze should be pourable but not too runny. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk. - Drizzle the Glaze
Drizzle the glaze over the frosted cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more control. - Decorate
If desired, top the cake with sprinkles, fresh fruit, or edible flowers to add a festive touch. - Serve
Slice the cake and serve it to family and friends, and enjoy the sweet response!
