I love celebrating, and I have a lot to celebrate lately! I always try to make the best of any situation, and I love celebrating the small things in life. That brings me to the perfect cake to celebrate the small things with, a snack cake!
What is a snack cake?
A snack cake is a small batch cake batter, that will bake a one-layer cake! The perfect size to celebrate the small things in life. It also is the perfect cake to enjoy for a small group! Just bake it in an 8×8 dish or a single cake pan.
But do I want just any snack cake? No! I want a fluffy, delicious, tasty cake. And this my friends, is it.
Best part? I also created the perfect small batch vanilla buttercream icing for you! You will make just enough to cover this cake, and sneak a lick or two off the spoon.
So if you are looking for the most delicious fluffy cake to satisfy your cravings, make this!
