Star of David Cake

Ingredients

Cake Batter:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
3 tsp vanilla extract
6 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour + extra for the pan
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups sour cream
cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Buttercream:
2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract or seeds from 1 vanilla bean
5 cups confectioner’s sugar
blue food coloring

Directions

Bake the cake:
1. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing with each addition.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. Add this to the batter in 2 additions, alternating with the sour cream.
3. Spoon the batter into a greased and floured Star of David cake pan. Bake at 350F for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centers comes out clean. Cool completely.

Make the buttercream:
1. Beat the butter with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar one cup at a time, beating with each addition.
2. Divide the buttercream into 3 bowls. Dye one bowl dark blue, one bowl light blue and leave the remaining bowl white. Place about 1/3 of the dark blue buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a medium-sized round piping tip.

Assembly:
1. Slice off the base of the cake to make it level.
2. Spread a generous layer of white buttercream onto the top of the cake, as well as the top 1/3 of the sides. Spread the dark blue buttercream along the bottom 1/3 of the cake and the light blue buttercream around the middle of the cake. This doesn’t need to be smooth.
3. Use a knife or long spatula to smooth the sides of the cake, creating an ombre effect.
4. Smooth out the top edges of the cake, then pipe a Star of David with the dark blue buttercream in the piping bag. Enjoy!
