For Eggless Barbie Cake, Refer this recipe and double the recipe.
I still can’t believe that maha is 2 already. Its been fantastic being her mom and being with her the whole time. I love to see her growing up, but sometimes it feels really hard to see her growing up..I know every mom has that feeling. For her first birthday i made a 6 layer rainbow cake. I was thinking what to make for her second birthday, finally i decided to make her favourite doll cake which is barbie. I just love the way how she says barbie which her toddler speech!

Other Stuffs:
Two 18 cm Round Baking Pan
One 900 ml Borosil Glass Bowl (around 18 cm circumference)
Two Piping Bags with Star tips
Plastic Wrap or Cling Film
Barbie Doll
Method:
First step, preheat oven to 160 degree C.
Take two 18 cm baking pan and baking bowl, oil it well and dust it well with flour. Coat it on all sides and tap off the excess flour. Set this aside.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt in a sifter and sieve well. set aside.
Take all the ingredients given for cake including the flour in a bowl and mix well.
Divide this between the batter. Fill the round cake pan just half way through. Now pop this in oven and bake for the round cake for 35 mins. Bake the the cake in bowl for an hour or till the cake is baked. Remove the cake from oven and let it cool completely. You can even freeze the cake for 30 mins.
Now remove the cake and cut the doom in the top to make it even. Take the cake which is baked in bowl and cut it in half.
Now use a knife to cut a small circle in the niddle of all the cake to make space to insert the barbie.
Now make sugar water by mixing everything. Take a plate and place a round cake on that. Place strips of parchment surrounding the cake. Brush the cake generously with sugar water. Now spread butter cream on top and place another cake on top, brush with sugar water, spread buttercream on top. Now take the bowl cake half and top with sugar water, place it on top of the frosting and spread some more buttercream, place the final half and brush it with sugar water.
Finally cover the whole cake with buttercream. Chill the cake for couple of hours.
Now pipe the cake with butter cream, insert barbie and decorate it as shown in pics.
Notes:
1)If you want a little taller barbie cake, bake three round cake instead of two and one cake in glass bowl.
2)Make sure you check the height of the barbie and assume the height of the cake and adjust it.
3)The cake batter which i used is a very basic cake batter recipe and it is easy to work with.

| You need two cake pans and one oven safe glass bowl.. Make sure all the circumference of the pans are same |
 |
| First lets make the cake..You dont need cocoa powder |
|
| Take flour in a sifter |
 |
| add in baking powder |
 |
| add in some salt |
 |
| sieve and set aside |
 |
| take it in a bowl |
 |
| add in sugar |
 |
| add in oil |
 |
| add in eggs |
 |
| add in milk |
 |
| mix well |
 |
| now the batter is done |
 |
| I added some pink food colouring and strawberry essence |
 |
| give a good mix |
 |
| Fill the bowls |
 |
| Bake them |
 |
| Let them cool completely. you can freeze the cake for 30 mins for easy handling..but i found this cake to be easy to work with.. |
 |
| slice the top off |
 |
| take the domed cake |
 |
| slice it in half..At this point use a knife to cut a small portion from the middle to insert barbie. I forgot to do that, you will see what i did in the coming pictures |
 |
| Now lets make a sugar water.. Take sugar in a bowl |
 |
| add in water |
 |
| add in strawberry essence |
 |
| mix well and set aside |
 |
| I made a batch of butter cream |
 |
| Place a cake in the bottom of a plate |
 |
| place strips of parchment surrounding the cake.. spoon the sugar water all over it |
 |
| now the cake is soaked |
 |
| spoon some butter cream |
 |
| spread evenly |
 |
| Place another cake on top |
 |
| spoon some more sugar water |
 |
| now it is well moistened |
 |
| spread some more buttercream |
 |
| now i took the bottom half of the domed cake, brushed sugar water on the sides of the cake |
 |
| i brushed the top with some more sugar water |
 |
| place it on top of the cake |
 |
| spread some butter cream |
 |
| now the cake is stacked |
 |
| spoon the buttercream on top |
 |
| now i realised that i forgot to remove the center part for inserting barbie..So i took a knife and sliced the middle part throughout the cake |
 |
| like this |
 |
| i spread butter cream all over the cake to create a crumb coat |
 |
| just like this |
 |
| Now the cake is crumbcoated, chill the cake for 2 hour or so.. this firms up the buttercream |
 |
| I put the crumbs in a container and stored in fridge, you can use this to make cake pops |
 |
| now lets take the barbie and wrap it in plastic wrap |
 |
| i took a piping bag and fitted it with a small star nozzle |
 |
| filled it with pink buttercream |
 |
| pipe it |
 |
| make small rose like pipings |
 |
| like this |
 |
| keep going |
 |
| now half way is done |
 |
| i piped roses in the bottom half way |
 |
 |
| like this |
 |
| i reserved some white buttercream |
 |
| pipe in the middle portion |
 |
| like this |
 |
| now it is pretty much completely |
 |
| now the barbie is going to get her adornments |
 |
| Take some blue sprinkles |
 |
| sprinkle all over it |
 |
| decorate her as you wish |
 |
 |
| All done..now unwrap her hair |

@Anonymousdid u cool the cake completely. The cake has to be cold and the buttercream has to be stiff. add more icing sugar and whip it till it gets thick and stiff.
@AnonymousYou can make this 2 days in advance. Since we are soaking the cake in sugar water it stays moist. And remove it from fridge 2 to 3 hours before serving
@Jitheesh Varghesecheck this link for buttercream recipe

@pallaviyes they turn out so soft even without heand blender
@Anonymousnot sure about regular blender, try it
I can bake only one later at a time as per my oven's capacity. So can I bake them one by one? If not then please tell me that should I divide every ingredint into equal 3 portions and mix each pan's batter one by one?
@Pipli Mukhopadhyayno u can bake one cake at a time. just keep the batter covered. it will be good

Aarthi, tried this cake for my daughters 2nd bday. Perfect measurements. cake came out very good. My barbie is tall. So made 4 layers. Will send the pic to ur mail.

@Pipli Mukhopadhyayyou can cut it like you cut a normal cake, but remember there will be a doll inside it, you you have it cut it on the sides. And this cake will serve more than 15 to 20
Hi…
I am planning to make it for my daughter's birthday…
I feel like buttercream frosting is little heavy…
Shall i use whipped cream frosting…
U said previous comment like it is hard to handle…
Will it work?can i form roses with whipped cream…
Thanks in advance
@abi abinayawhipping cream cannot hold the barbie cake. since it doesn't set like buttercream. U can layer the cake with butter cream then cover it with a thin layer of butter cream and chill for few hours. then cover the entire cake with whipped cream
Hi Aarti,
I tried this Barbie cake and it came out well…I followed ur cake baking steps and used store-brought cream for decoration. my 3 year old liked the cake like anything 🙂 Thanks so much!
Hi Aarthi,
