C Layer Cake
Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Cake:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 cup hot water
For the Vanilla Frosting:
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 4 cups powdered sugar
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2-4 tablespoons heavy cream or milk
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.
3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.
4. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin, but that’s okay.
5. Divide the batter equally among the three prepared cake pans.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them from the pans to cool completely on wire racks.
8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the vanilla frosting. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth.
9. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and enough heavy cream or milk to reach your desired consistency.
10. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top.
11. Repeat with the second cake layer and another layer of frosting. Then, place the final cake layer on top.
12. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. You can use a pastry bag and tip to pipe decorative designs on the cake if desired.
13. Slice and serve the C Layer Cake for a stunning and delicious treat that will impress all your guests.
