To make a trendy birthday cake in 2024, you can try incorporating some popular cake design and flavor trends. Here's a general guide on how to make a modern and stylish birthday cake:

Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups whole milk

For the frosting and decorations, you can choose your preferred flavors and designs based on the birthday person's preferences. However, here are some trendy ideas:

Frosting Options:

  • Whipped cream frosting
  • Cream cheese frosting
  • Swiss meringue buttercream
  • Ganache
  • Decorations:
  • Drip design (using colorful or metallic ganache)
  • Buttercream flowers or succulents
  • Edible gold or silver leaf
  • Fresh fruits or edible flowers
  • Macarons or meringue kisses
  • Sprinkles or edible confetti

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare your chosen frosting. Follow a specific recipe for the frosting type you prefer. Whip it until light and fluffy.
  9. Once the cakes are cooled, you can level the tops if necessary. Then, stack the layers with a thin layer of frosting between each.
  10. Apply a crumb coat by spreading a thin layer of frosting all over the cake. This helps seal in any loose crumbs. Chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
  11. Apply the final layer of frosting, ensuring it's smooth and even on the sides and top of the cake.
  12. Now it's time to decorate your cake based on the desired trends. You can create a drip design by drizzling ganache over the edges, pipe buttercream flowers or succulents, apply edible gold or silver leaf accents, or decorate with fresh fruits, macarons, or sprinkles.
  13. Place the finished cake back in the refrigerator to allow the frosting to set.
  14. Once the cake has chilled and the decorations are firm, your trendy birthday cake is ready to be served!

Remember to personalize the decorations and flavors based on the birthday person's preferences and enjoy the celebration.
