Preparing Vanilla Cloud Drizzle Cake
Making this elegant cake is straightforward, so fear not if you’re not a seasoned baker. You’ll start by creaming together your butter and sugar, creating that light, airy base. Next, you’ll gently incorporate the dry ingredients before blending in the milk, which keeps the cake moist. And it only gets better when you fill it with your rich vanilla whipped cream and drizzle on a silky glaze. The key is to take your time and enjoy the process!
