Delightful Mini Loaf Vanilla Cake with Creamy Vanilla Icing

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two mini loaf pans with butter or non-stick spray.

2.In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

3.Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.

4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the whole milk. Start and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.

6.Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared mini loaf pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.

7.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8.Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

9.While the cakes are cooling, prepare the creamy vanilla icing. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar until well combined.

10.Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until the icing is smooth and creamy. If the icing is too thick, add a little more cream until you reach your desired consistency.

11.Once the cakes are completely cool, spread the creamy vanilla icing generously over the top of each mini loaf.

12.Slice and serve your delightful mini loaf vanilla cakes with creamy vanilla icing, and enjoy!
