Funfetti Cake

A version of the classic celebration cake that I experimented with this month.

I wanted a really fluffy yet moist cake that could be made ahead and frozen, so it's long distance and airplane safe!

Components:

Funfetti Cake recipe - adapted from divas can cook

Cream cheese mousse - adapted from pastry school vibes

Ermine buttercream - NYT cooking

Cake recipe is from Divas can Cook (comes highly recommended to me by Pancake Princess). I wasn't necessarily looking for a yellow cake recipe so I substituted the egg yolks for an additional egg.

The frosting I chose was ermine buttercream. I don't love the taste of meringue based buttercream but I wanted something as stable but not too sweet.
