(Photos updated July 2009)Dorie's Perfect Party Cake. It is what it says.
I made this for my brother's birthday last summer
I made it for Father's Day last weekend, but I can't download any of my pictures yet, since my computer is not set up. I will update this post with pictures in a couple weeks when I am able to get my pictures downloaded.
This week's Tuesday's with Dorie recipe, Perfect Party Cake, was chosen by Carol of mix, mix, stir, stir,.
It was also done by the Daring Bakers last year in March, so you have probably seen some version of it. You can find the recipe on Carol's blog, from the post I did last year, or on just about any other food blog out there. I promise.
I made it again because my sister-in-law wanted a white cake with raspberry filling for our Father's Day dessert.
The cake is flawless. I haven't had trouble with it and I always use buttermilk, which goes well with the lemon flavor.
This time I used a different frosting because the original frosting is too loaded with butter for me and last summer when I made it, none of us really cared for the frosting.
This time around, I used this basic Vanilla Buttercream from Southern Living. I also made up my own raspberry filling and everyone really loved the results. Go check out the TWD Blogroll to see the other party cakes!

Beautiful, Mary Ann! I thought the frosting was very buttery, too, in fact it was hard to get it to stick to the cake! Now I'm officially suffering from PPCE (Perfect Party Cake Envy!)
It looks really beautiful! I like the raspberry.
Your cake looks delicious Mary Ann!
Really excellent cake.
ton frère a été gâté avec un si beau gâteau ! bravo :)
Really beautiful - and I bet it was tasty too!
Mmmm...blueberries. I bet that was delicious. It looks beautiful and I'm sure the one you made for Father's Day looked great too.
so pretty, as usual. The blueberries were a great idea.
YOU'RE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stunning! You did a beautiful job!
Mm.. that looks good. My grocery store was out of buttermilk so I had to use the sour milk version. Darn. I love the way buttermilk tastes in baked goods. Sour milk is okay, but not quite the same.
That looks completely amazing. I didn't use the coconut on mine, but man it gives a good presentation!
Looks perfect to me!
Last year's cake is gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you did this year.
Your cake looks beautiful. I love the berries.
Your cake is amazing!! I love the idea of using blueberry preserves and fresh blueberries with whipped cream. Yum!
Your cake is lovely!
Your cake is beautiful. I love that you did a layer with fresh blueberries. I did raspberry jam. Tasty, but mine didn't turn out as pretty as your's. ;-)
This looks awesome. I especially like the berries inside. YUM!
this cake is definitely worthy of making a second time--delish!
I think your Perfect Party Cake looks absolutely delicious! I love the blueberry filling! I can't wait to see what your raspberry cake looks like. How did you make your own raspberry filling?
I completely agree...the cake is flawless!! So good no matter what you pair with it! Can't wait to see the new pics!
