Ingredients

Scale
  • Cake:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • Frosting:
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 3 tablespoons milk
    • Green food coloring
  • Decorations:
    • Silver and red sprinkles
    • Star-shaped candies for the tops

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy, then add the eggs one at a time. Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and buttermilk until fully combined.
  • Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a lined baking sheet (9×13 works well) and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before cutting it into triangular Christmas tree shapes.
  • Frosting and Decorating: Beat together the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy. Add green food coloring to achieve your desired shade of festive green. Spread the frosting evenly over each triangle, and then decorate with silver and red sprinkles. Place a star-shaped candy on top to finish your Christmas tree.
