Ingredients

    Cake Batter:

    • Whole milk
    • 6 large egg whites
    • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
    • 2 tsp bubble gum flavoring
    • 2/3 cup sour cream
    • 4 1/3 cups cake flour
    • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1¼ tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 1¼ cups unsalted butter, room temperature
    • Pink gel food coloring

    Filling & Frosting:

    • Pastry cream (vanilla bean or classic)
    • 2 cups unsalted butter
    • ½ cup vegetable shortening
    • 1 tsp bubble gum flavoring
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 6½ cups powdered sugar

    Decoration:

    • White chocolate drip
    • Bubblegum balls
    • Striped frosting (pink/white)

    Directions

    1. Prepare Batter via Reverse Creaming: Preheat oven to 325 °F. Spray three 8‑inch cake pans. In a mixer, combine dry ingredients, then mix in butter until pea-sized.

    2. Add Wet Mix: Whisk milk, egg whites, bubblegum flavoring, sour cream, and vanilla. Add slowly to dry blend until just combined—don’t overmix.

    3. Color & Bake: Divide batter; tint portions with pink gel coloring as desired. Bake layers until set, then cool completely.

    4. Bake Filling & Frosting: Prepare pastry cream. Beat butter and shortening, blend in bubblegum flavor and cream, then add powdered sugar until smooth.

    5. Assemble Cake: Layer cake with pastry cream between tiers. Crumb coat, chill, then apply striped frosting. Add white chocolate drip along edges.

    6. Decorate: Top with bubblegum balls and sprinkles for a magical finish.
