The Best Funfetti Cake

The Best funfetti cake with a silky smooth buttercream and a delicious pink frosting drip #preppykitchen #funfetti #cake #desserts #birthdaycake #videos I come from a family of coffee drinkers. Coffee drinking, and coffee making, too, for that matter, is a comfortable ritual, as much as it is a welcome wake-up on sleepy mornings. Coffee in the morning is obvious, by my mom and grandparents also had the habit of making a pot of decaf at night after dinner, especially if there was dessert (and of course there was dessert). I never make coffee at night, myself, but appreciate the habit of coffee with dessert when I visit my parents’ house. My first cup of coffee was at an airport when I was maybe 8 or 9 years old. We were seeing my grandparents off, and the adults were all drinking coffee while we waited at the gate with them for their turn to board the airplane. The hot liquid steamed from paper cups, and as they sipped their coffee, talking about adult things that were of little interest to me, I found myself wishing I could have my own cup and be as grown up as they were. I asked if I could have some, and my parents said yes, likely thinking I’d take one sip and refuse to drink anymore. But I excitedly filled up a cup to the very top from the free beverage station (how things have changed at airports!) and took it back to my seat. My first, scalding sip burned my tongue and sent a shiver down my spine. What were they thinking, drinking something that tasted so terrible? The second taste was just as bad. But I was determined to drink that whole cup and prove to them that I was as grown up as they were, and so I did, my body shuddering with every awful gulp that I forced myself to swallow. I remember ordering lattes in college, and feeling oh-so-sophisticated. Usually I drank them with a pump of sickly sweet vanilla syrup and a sprinkling of cinnamon on top. For years now, though, I have grown to appreciate the bitter, but smooth richness of black coffee, perhaps with a splash of real cream now and then, but never sugar. This cake combines two things I love, coffee and vanilla bean. It’s a somewhat dense cake, that is moist and rich with a beautiful crumb, and the buttercream is so light and fluffy. I practiced some classic piping just for fun, and I love the elegant flair the piped borders add. A slice of this would be so perfect with, well, maybe a cup of coffee?
