Ingredients

For this delicious fondant cake recipe, you'll need the following ingredients: 6 eggs, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of sour cream. For the fondant, you'll need: 2 cups of confectioner's sugar, 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 2 tablespoons of shortening, 1/4 cup of water, and gel food coloring.

Instructions

To get started on this recipe, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until everything is well combined. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before continuing with the recipe.

To make the fondant, sift the confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and cream of tartar into a medium bowl. Add in the shortening and mix to combine. Gradually add in the water, a little at a time, and mix until the fondant is smooth and pliable. Knead in gel food coloring, if desired, until you reach your desired color. Roll the fondant out onto a lightly floured surface until it's about 1/8-inch thick. Place the rolled fondant onto the cooled cake and smooth it out with your hands. Cut off any excess fondant from the edges of the cake. Decorate the cake as desired and enjoy!
