Ingredients
  

  • For the Vanilla Sponge Cake:
  • 2 ½ cups 315g all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 2 cups 400g granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup 240ml milk (dairy or dairy-free)
  • ½ cup 120ml vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs or egg substitute
  • ½ cup 120g Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
  • For the Buttercream Frosting:
  • 1 ½ cups 340g unsalted butter (or plant-based butter)
  • 6 cups 720g powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3-4 tbsp heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy-free
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Gel food coloring: Sky blue black, and white

Instructions
 

Bake the Cake Layers:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt) in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, combine milk, oil, vanilla, eggs, and yogurt. Mix until smooth.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients. Pour into pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool.

Make the Buttercream:

  • Beat softened butter for 2 minutes until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with cream, until smooth.
  • Divide frosting into three portions: 70% sky blue, 20% white, 10% black (for details).

Assemble and Decorate:

  • Once cakes are cool, level them and stack with frosting between layers.
  • Apply a crumb coat of blue frosting and chill for 20 minutes.
  • Frost with the final layer of blue frosting, smooth with a bench scraper.
  • Pipe Bluey’s eyes, mouth, and fur using white and black frosting.

Pro Tips:

  • Chill the Cake Layers: Refrigerating your cake layers before frosting will help avoid crumbs in your frosting.
  • Make Ahead: You can bake the cake layers a day ahead and store them in an airtight container.
  • Piping Details: If you’re new to piping, use a toothpick to sketch Bluey’s face on the cake before piping for precision.
