Instructions
The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake
-
Preheat oven to 176 Degrees Celsius. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds.
-
Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, protein powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
-
Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
-
Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
-
Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
-
In a large bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results
-
Add in cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and Protein Powder. Beat until combined.
-
Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk as necessary to make a spreadable consistency. The frosting should be very thick and will thicken even more if refrigerated.
Extra Decorating
- Break all Whittaker's Chocolate into individual pieces and variating sizes (don't worry if the pieces aren't perfect)
- Use the broken pieces of chocolate to create a repeating pattern around the equator of the cake. (Tip: Use the icing as glue to hold the chocolate in place)
- Decorate the top of the cake with larger pieces of chocolate (Add drizzles of Barkers Strawberry sauce on top of the cake to make it pop)
- Serve with JellyTip Ice Cream
- Enjoy! :)
Decorating Tips
- Use the frosting to create a rough base layer around the cake. (Boil hot water and use a metal knife with a straight edge to smooth the icing, dip the knife in hot water to slightly melt icing to create a smoother coat)
- Let frosting cool down in fridge for 10min before applying the next layer of icing.
- Create as many layers as desired until the cake is smooth and beautiful.
- Be conscious leaving frosting in direct sunlight as it looses it's integrity when heated.
- Have fun while decorating (You have creative freedom to make your own masterpiece, so enjoy yourself while doing it!)
