My 6 year old wanted me to make a vanilla cake cause she plays a game that requires baking a cake of your choice and I looked for a vanilla cake. Found one and made it. Then i searched an easy tasty frosting and found it.

Steps

10 mins

1

Heat the oven to 350°F (175 degrees C) grease and flour a 9×9 in pan or line cupcake or muffin pans with paper liners.
2

In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Then stir in the vanilla. Combine flour and baking powder in another small bowl, then add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
3

Finally stir in the milk till the batter is smooth. Pour into prepared pan or muffin\cupcake pans.
4

Bake 30-40 minutes in preheated oven. For cupcakes 20-25 minutes. Cake is done when it springs back to the touch.
5

Take them out when done. Don't touch, let them sit out till completely cooled off. Then when cooled remove from pans if you made muffins or cupcakes. Then your ready to frost them. Leave them plain or whatever you want.

NOW FOR THE FROSTING::::::: in a mixing bowl, whisk the butter for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar half cup at a time, whisking well. When all the sugar is incorporated add the cold coffee or extract and enough cream to reach the desired consistency.

Whisk for an additional minute. Now spoon the frosting into a piping bag and frost the cupcakes or cake. As you can see I added unsweetened chocolate shavings to the top of the cupcakes. That's your choice for decoration. :) enjoy. My family loved this so much.
