Ingredients
For this vintage covered cake plate recipe, you will need:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup of dried cranberries
Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter and line the bottom with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add in the milk, chocolate chips, walnuts, and cranberries and mix until everything is well combined.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before assembling the vintage covered cake plate.
Assembling the Vintage Covered Cake Plate
Once the cake is cooled, begin by cutting it into two even layers. Place the first layer on a cake board or serving platter. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top of the cake layer and top with the second layer. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top of the second layer and decorate with the remaining frosting.
To assemble the vintage covered cake plate, place the cake in the center of the plate. Place the cover over the cake and secure with a ribbon or piece of string. Place the cover in the center of the plate and secure with four small pieces of string. Tie the strings into a bow and trim the ends.
Serving and Storing
Your vintage covered cake plate is now ready to be served. Serve with tea, coffee, or a glass of cold milk. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
