My friend requested I make her a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting (no fillings) for her birthday party and in my own personal tasting experience double vanilla usually tastes too sweet. I am wondering if anyone has any good recipe recommendations for both vanilla cake and frosting that aren't too "vanilla-y". Thanks!

I actually like that combination- kind of like traditional wedding cake flavors. But maybe you could go with an icing other than buttercream if you want to do something different. But first find out if you can change it up a bit since maybe that is what they really, really want.

Scratch or box? Big difference around here.

I really like the moch whipped cream frosting, it's not really sweet and has a fluffy texture...here's the link http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopicp-6989739-.html#6989739

Hi,
I recently cake across Cake Love's vanilla cake recipe and I love it. If you looking for scratch recipe this is a really good one. I do 3 Tbps of brandy instead of the 2 the recipe calls for and add a hint of lemon zest to it. A bit makes a huge difference. Everyone I made it for loves it!. I pair it SMBC and its sooo good.
You can get the cake recipe here:

Good Luck![/url]

How about using SMBC/IMBC, it's a lot less sweet than traditional buttercream.
