                                        Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine *softened butter* and *granulated sugar*, beating them together until the mixture is *light and fluffy*. Add the *eggs* one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Incorporate *vanilla extract* for added flavor.
In a separate bowl, mix together the *all-purpose flour* and *baking powder*. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to *180 degrees Celsius* (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease and flour your desired cake pans. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for approximately *25-30 minutes* or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, whip the *heavy cream* until it forms soft peaks. Gradually add the *powdered sugar*, continuing to whip until you achieve a smooth consistency. In another bowl, mix the *cream cheese* until it's creamy and then fold this into the whipped cream gently, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Step 4
Once the cake layers have completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the frosting over the top, then place the second cake layer on top. Repeat this process if you have more layers.
Finish by spreading the remaining frosting around the sides and top of the cake, smoothing it out for presentation.
Step 5
You can add decorative touches such as *edible flowers*, fruit, or chocolate shavings on top, depending on the occasion. Once decorated, slice and serve your delicious biscuit cake to enjoy with family and friends!
Servings
When it comes to serving these pastries, think of a cozy afternoon gathering! 🎉 They’re perfect for sharing with friends over coffee or tea. You might want to sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top for that lovely finishing touch. Pair them with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent experience that everyone will love. Don't forget to slice them into fun shapes to create a festive look on your dessert table! 🍰
For an adorable picnic treat, pack them along with some fresh fruit, creating a delightful spread that will make everyone smile. Pair these pastries with a sparkling lemonade or cold brew coffee for a refreshing touch that perfectly complements their sweetness. 🍋☕
Equipment
Having a good set of mixing bowls is essential. Opt for different sizes to handle various ingredients. Glass or stainless steel bowls are great choices as they don’t retain odors.
A whisk will help you achieve a smooth batter. A balloon whisk is perfect for aerating your mixture, making it light and fluffy.

                        Use a sturdy baking tray for even heat distribution. If possible, line it with baking paper or silicone mats for easy cleanup!
A good rolling pin is key for shaping your pastry. Look for one that feels comfortable in your hand and is easy to clean.

                        Variations
If you're looking for a gluten-free twist, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free blend that includes xanthan gum for added stability. And for our friends embracing a vegan lifestyle, try using coconut oil instead of butter, and almond milk instead of regular milk. Your pastries will still turn out fluffy and delightful! 🌱✨
Both variations maintain that divine texture and taste that everyone loves. Everyone can indulge in these delicious pastries!
Faq
- What if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky, gently sprinkle some extra flour while kneading until you achieve a more manageable consistency. Just be careful not to add too much, as this can lead to a tougher pastry.
 - How can I tell if my pastries are cooked?
A great way to check is to look for a golden-brown color and a firm texture. You can also gently tap the bottom; a hollow sound usually means they’re done.
 - Can I freeze these pastries?
Absolutely! You can freeze them before baking. Just make sure they’re wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container.
 - What should I do if my pastry is too dry?
If your pastry is dry, it may have overcooked, or too little liquid was added. You can adapt next time by adding a bit more liquid, or consider a filling to add moisture.
 - How do I achieve a flaky texture?
To achieve a flaky texture, be sure to handle the dough gently. Less mixing and keeping your ingredients cold will also help create those delicious flaky layers!
 - Can I use whole grain flour for this recipe?
You can substitute a portion of the all-purpose flour with whole grain flour for added nutrition, but keep in mind that it may alter the texture slightly. Balance is key!
