Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 cups plus 2 teaspoons (330 grams) whole milk
  • ½ cup (120 grams) whole Greek yogurt
  • 4 large eggs (200 grams), room temperature
  • 2 large egg yolks (37 grams), room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons (12 grams) Heilala Vanilla Bean Paste
  • cups plus 2 teaspoons (600 grams) all-purpose flour
  • cups (450 grams) granulated sugar
  • teaspoons (16.25grams)baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
  • cups plus 1 teaspoon (345 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • Vanilla Bean Swiss Meringue Buttercream (recipe follows)
  • Garnish: sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 13x9-inch baking pan. Line pan with parchment paper, letting excess extend over sides of pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, yogurt, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla bean paste.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt at low speed just until combined. Add butter, one cube at a time, beating until combined after each addition. (Mixture should resemble sand.) Add half of milk mixture; beat at low speed just until combined. Add remaining milk mixture, and beat at medium speed just until combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold batter to ensure that no dry ingredients remain. Pour batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula.
  • Bake until cake springs back when touched in center and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Let cool completely in pan.
  • Using excess parchment as handles, remove cooled cake from pan. Using an offset spatula, spread Vanilla Bean Swiss Meringue Buttercream onto cake, swirling as desired. Garnish with sprinkles, if desired.
