3/4 cup cocoa powder
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if needed for thinning
1 tablespoon vanilla

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
  • In an electric mixer, mix the butter and granulated sugar on high speed until fluffy. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix for a few more seconds.

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk in 3 batches, mixing for a few seconds after each addition. Scrape the sides of the bowl, then mix 1 final time.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h35m

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Nonstick baking spray, for the pans
1 1/2 sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups (300 grams) granulated sugar
4 large eggs (224 grams), at room temperature
3 cups (360 grams) cake flour
1 tablespoon (12 grams) baking powder
1 teaspoon (6 grams) fine kosher salt
1 cup (230 grams) buttermilk, at room temperature
1 tablespoon (12 grams) vanilla extract
1/8 cup (28 grams) vegetable oil
2 sticks (217 grams) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (50 grams) unsweetened baking cocoa, sifted
3 cups (340 grams) powdered sugar, plus additional as necessary
1/4 cup (60 grams) heavy cream, plus additional as necessary
4 ounces (114 grams) melted dark chocolate, cooled
1/4 teaspoon (2 grams) fine kosher salt
Rainbow sprinkles, for decorating

Steps:

  • For the yellow cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch-by-13-inch (quarter-sheet) pan with parchment paper, then spray with nonstick baking spray.
  • Place 2 metal flower nails in the center of the pan, flat-side down, a few inches apart. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed to incorporate air into mixture, about 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs on low speed, two at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.
  • Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add a third of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix on low speed. Mix in half of the buttermilk on low speed. Repeat this process, finishing with the last third of the dry ingredients. Mix in the vanilla extract and oil, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Reposition the flower nails so that they're evenly spaced in the pan. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles, then bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 26 minutes.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully flip it onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • For the dark chocolate buttercream: Beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the cocoa, then mix until the cocoa is fully incorporated and no clumps remain. Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with small splashes of cream. Mix in the melted dark chocolate, then the salt. Beat until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached. If the frosting is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of heavy cream. If it's too thin, add another 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Stir by hand with a rubber spatula for a couple minutes to make the frosting super smooth.
  • Remove the flower nails from the cake. Spread an even layer of chocolate buttercream on top of the cake, making swirls with an offset spatula. Top with rainbow sprinkles.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cake batter come together more smoothly and evenly, resulting in a more tender and flavorful cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and fluffier.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the cake batter from curdling.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients: This will help to ensure that the cake batter is evenly mixed and free of lumps.
  • Do not overmix the cake batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: Underbaking the cake will result in a gooey center, while overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting or sliding off the cake.
  • For the chocolate malt buttercream: Use high-quality chocolate and malt powder for the best flavor. Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. Gradually add the chocolate and malt powder until well combined.

Conclusion:

This yellow cake with chocolate malt buttercream is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor.
