 "Frozen" Inspired Birthday Cake

Recently,  my God child, France Kaylie Briana Ramirez or "Frankie" for short celebrated her 5th birthday. As my gift,  I made a cake inspired by the popular movie, "FROZEN"~ a 3D computer-animated musical fantasy-comedy film produced and released by Walt Disney.

What is inside this cake ?  It's a yummy and moist vanilla peach cake !

VANILLA PEACH CAKE 

INGREDIENTS :

3 cups (345 grams) sifted all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature (you can use salted butter but remove the salt)
4 large eggs at room temperature
1 3/4 cups (350 grams) granulated white sugar
1 cups (240 ml) milk (room temperature)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 can (825 g) peaches (cut into small cubes)

FROSTING : 

I used "Whippit" which is my favorite icing for cakes since it is not so sweet and it is stable. It is a white colored non-dairy pasty mass that becomes a whipped topping when mixed at a high speed with chilled water or milk.  It is a better alternative to boiled icing and other dairy whipped toppings because of  proven stability under high temperature while using it.

DIRECTIONS : 
 
1.    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) with rack in center of oven.

 2.    Butter or spray with a non-stick vegetable spray, a 9-inch x 2 inch (23 x 5 cm) cake pan. Then line the bottoms of the pans with parchment or wax paper, then spray the paper.

 3.    In a bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
4.    In the bowl of your electric mixer, with the paddle attachment, (or with a hand mixer) beat the butter until soft and creamy (about 2 minutes). 

5.    Add the sugar gradually and beat until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes). 

6.    Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.

7.    Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the flour mixture (in three additions) and milk (in two additions), beginning and ending with the flour.  

8.    Incorporate the chopped peaches.

9.    Put the batter in the cake pan. Bake 27 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in center.  

10.  Place the cake on a wire rack to cool, in their pans, for about 10 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a greased rack. Remove the parchment or wax paper and re-invert cakes so that tops are right side up. Cool completely before frosting.


To decorate the cake, I used sugar flowers and some of the cute characters from the Disney movie, Frozen ~ Queen Elsa of Arendelle, her sister Princess Ana, Hans and Olaf.
