There is just something about a white cake. This creamy white cake with buttercream frosting is a really moist cake with a delicious buttercream frosting. I originally wanted to have a filling between the layers, but I wasn’t able to find decent raspberries so, I made this cake with layers of buttercream, which I love! There is nothing better than a good buttercream frosting to top your cake with.
You could make this creamy white cake with buttercream frosting with any type of filling. Lemon would be absolutely delicious. Blueberry, cranberry, cherry, strawberry, and mango would also be good to use depending on the season.
When you pour this into your pans, just spread the batter around to fill the bottom of the pan. It doesn’t seem like there is enough, but trust me, there is and it will work perfectly.
