I've now made this recipe twice for a birthday cake and some fundraiser cupcakes. After two batches, the leftover frostings will frost a third cake perfectly. Yes it makes a lot of frosting but it freezes well. I have made this fabulous cake several times and everyone loves it. Adding the milk powder is a game-changer and creates a caramel flavor.
The frosting took about 8 min to get to the mocha-colored stage. This is a phenomenal cake but oh, that frosting is next-level! I followed directions exactly but I added espresso powder at the same time as the cocoa powder (King Arthur Black Cocoa). This is a keeper recipe and I like serving it out of the pan. As for the cake, I didn't have buttermilk so I made my own by taking 1C milk and adding 2T white vinegar and stirring and waiting 10 minutes before using. You can smell the rich buttery caramel smell as it browns. I was able to work it in nicely without big clumps, although it is definitely small clumps and that will not turn out to be clumpy in your frosting.
I turned the heat down a bit once the butter foamed and I added the dry milk. For those worried about clumping when adding the dry milk to the foamy butter, I think the key is to use a small sauce pan and to have the heat on medium low to low. The frosting is[phenomenal with a rich caramel-ish flavor. Maybe next year’s theme will be snow mobiles! Can’t wait to make again with the brown-butter frosting.
#BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE VANILLA FROSTING RECIPE FULL#
I used a local full fat yogurt instead of buttermilk and all still seemed right in the world. Win-win for all involved as both kids and adults loved the texture, flavor, and moistness of the cake. MAKE THIS CAKE!!! Amazing, super easy chocolate cake!! I baked it in a 9 x 13 pan to accommodate my son’s request for racetrack & monster truck birthday cake decorations and used a different (chocolate) frosting, as I needed the surface to look like dirt. I typically stay away from cakes that use oil instead of butter, but I’ll definitely be making this one again. The only thing I did differently was half the recipe. This cake is Delicious!! Brown Butter Frosting turned out perfect. glad I tasted before putting on top! Think communion wafers….🤢 Fabulous! FYI- edible confetti wafers are beautiful but is NOT palatable…. The icing firms up when refrigerated but softens nicely at room temperature. The grain really matters when measuring/substituting. I used Mortons Kosher salt in the batter. I did not add additional flakey sea salt on top. The sponge is perfect! I used all the icing in my 13x9 pan. Crazy good-it was devoured! I added 1t instant espresso powder with the water/cocoa powder as a few had mentioned. Loved this!!! Made it for Valentine’s Day work lunch. Now I just sampled a tiny bit and my bottom lip is itchy and tingling? I'm done. so far, i've done everything as described but i subbed cornstarch for half the powdered sugar. I made a box cake and this frosting recipe to top it. My husband suggested I put some espresso powder in the frosting, which I did for a second cake. It's the perfect balance for the frosting which is sweet and salty. I took it to work for the day shift staff, and now there are night shifters approaching me with "rumors of some amazing cake".
