Sour cream is the secret ingredient in this simple recipe; it makes the cake light, fluffy, and just as wonderful as the perfect sugar cookie.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ingredients for Sugar Cookie Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> Soften the butter a little before using it in this recipe\u202f.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Sugar helps make the cake moist and soft.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> The eggs should be room temperature for this recipe. They help the batter become a fluffy cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:<\/strong> This adds just a hint of vanilla fragrance and flavor to the cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:<\/strong> Regular all-purpose flour does the job in this cake recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking powder and baking soda:<\/strong> Both of these ingredients help the cake rise. The sour cream activates the baking soda and helps create a fluffy cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:<\/strong> Sour cream balances out the sweet ingredients; it also helps make the cake moist, with a lovely texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla frosting:<\/strong> This recipe calls for canned vanilla frosting to save time but you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/vanilla-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/vanilla-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">make your own<\/a> with only four ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coarse sugar, sprinkles and additional frosting:<\/strong> These optional add-ons make the cake a little more special.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Directions\u202f<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the cake batter<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sugar-Cookie-Cake_TOHD24_222050_JuliaHartbeck_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Making the cake batter\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. \u00a0In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about five to seven minutes.

Wrap the cake in two layers of plastic and then foil or place smaller servings in airtight freezer containers. This cake keeps for two months in the freezer. Thaw the cake on the counter or in the refrigerator overnight.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sugar Cookie Cake Tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052326\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Sugar-Cookie-Cake_TOHD24_222050_JuliaHartbeck_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Closeup shot of a slice of sugar cookie cake with a forkful taken out of it\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Julia Hartbeck for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What else could I bake using sour cream?<\/h3>\n<p>Sour cream makes baked goods moist.

Using a full-fat plain Greek yogurt may be used 1:1 in place of sour cream. The full-fat version is necessary because low-fat versions might not work as well. The fat in sour cream benefits this recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>Could I make this taste like snickerdoodles instead of sugar cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes! Add a little cinnamon to the cake batter and sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar (or cinnamon and brown sugar) atop the cake once you remove it from the oven. The same cinnamon-sugar mixture could also be mixed into frosting, such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttercream-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/buttercream-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">buttercream<\/a>, to use on this cake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This sugar cookie cake recipe is a great birthday surprise idea for someone who loves sugar cookies.
