Make This Recipe
Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 3/4 c. (350g) granulated sugar
1 c. + 2 tbsp (135g) cake flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 1/2 c. Eggland's Best 100% Egg Whites
1 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
For the Decoration:
1 stick of butter, softened
2 c. confectioner's sugar
3-4 Tbsp. milk (dairy-free works!)
Green food coloring
Yellow fondant
Multi-colored candies
Preparation
For the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a food processor or blender, pulse the sugar until it's fine. Remove 1 cup and set aside; keep the rest in the processor. Add the cake flour and salt. Pulse 5-10 times until the flour/sugar/salt mix is light.
- In a large bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar on medium-low until foamy (about 1 minute). Switch to medium-high and slowly add the 1 cup of sugar that was set aside. Whip until soft peaks form, about 5-6 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat until just mixed in.
- In multiple additions, slowly sift the flour mixture into the egg white mixture, gently folding with a rubber spatula to avoid a dense cake. Pour and spread batter into a very lightly greased bundt pan.
- Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool the cake upside-down on a wire rack for about 2 hours (or let sit in fridge).
- Once cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and gently tap until the cake releases.
For Decoration:
- To make the frosting: In a bowl, combine softened butter, confectioner's sugar and milk. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to buttercream and continue to beat until well distributed. Transfer frosting into piping bag and carefully dot the circumference of the cake.
- Top with multicolored candies. Shape stars out of yellow fondant and place on cake.
Recipe Notes: Can be cooled in the fridge; can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days
