Remove and divide batter using the following method: Into either the
savarin or tube pan, measure out 5 1/2 cups of batter and spread it
around evenly. Now gently screw on the center fill insert. Add 2 cups of
batter to the round pan.
4
Place both pans in lower third of oven. Place a foil or parchment-lined
cookie sheet on the rack below to catch any batter overflow. Set timer
for 25 minutes. When time is up, test the bottom round pan by inserting
a toothpick or bamboo skewer into the center. It should come out either
clean or with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. (Wet batter means
it is not done.)
5
If done, remove this pan and reset timer for 20 more minutes for the
savarin or tube pan. Test for doneness on this pan by inserting a
toothpick or bamboo skewer in between one of the 4 small slits on the
top of the center fill insert. Remove and cool for 10 minutes.
6
Gently remove center fill insert by unscrewing. Invert onto pretty serving
platter. Invert lower round pan as well. Cool completely. Fill and frost
as desired.

Easy Vanilla Butter Cake
INGREDIENTS
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
2 tablespoons flour, in shaker
METHOD
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously spray either the savarin or
tube pan, the round cake pan and the bottom of the center fill insert
with nonstick spray. Coat each pan with a thin layer of flour.
2
Using the paddle attachment on your stand mixer, cream the butter and
sugar on medium speed for 3-4 minutes. Scrape bowl. Add eggs and mix
for one minute. Scrape bowl. Add milk, vanilla and butter vanilla extract.
Mix on low while you sift the flours, baking powder and salt onto a piece
of parchment. Gather up the parchment, creating a cradle or chute to
make adding the flour to the mixer easier. Mix until no dry ingredients
remain. Scrape bowl and mix for 10 seconds on high speed.
