Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (312g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
  • 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
  • Edible icing sheet with printed photo
  • Edible ink (pre-printed sheets recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper, letting edges hang over.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  5. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until combined.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (at least 1 hour).
  8. Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla, then add cream to reach spreading consistency.
  9. Spread a thin, even layer of frosting over the cooled cake to create a smooth surface.
  10. Carefully place the edible photo sheet on top of the frosted cake, pressing edges gently to stick. Refrigerate and serve within 24 hours.

Notes

Ensure cake is completely cool before frosting to prevent melting and photo print distortion. Use fresh edible icing sheets stored properly to avoid cracking or discoloration. For best results, apply photo sheet just a few hours before serving and keep refrigerated. Measure flour carefully to avoid dryness. Variations include gluten-free and dairy-free substitutions.
