PRINTABLE RECIPE: ????️ ????️
BUTTERMILK SUBSTITUTE:


????????????????????????????????????

✅Ingredients

• butter and flour for coating and dusting the cake pan
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 1½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1½ teaspoons baking powder
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1½ cups buttermilk
• 1½ cups warm water
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract


✅Instructions

1️⃣ 00:00:17 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.

2️⃣ 00:01:19 - Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.

3️⃣ 00:01:44 - Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.

4️⃣ 00:02:31 - Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.

5️⃣ 00:02:47 - Bake for 30-35 minutes until the cake meets the toothpick test (stick a toothpick in and it comes out clean).

6️⃣ 00:03:06 - Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.

7️⃣ Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!

Notes
The better quality cocoa powder you use the better the cake will taste.


00:03:30 - CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

✅Ingredients

• 1½ cups butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 7-8 cups powdered sugar
• about ¼ cup milk (as needed)


✅Instructions

1️⃣ 00:03:38 - In a large bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results

2️⃣ 00:03:57 - Add in cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.

3️⃣ 00:04:23 - 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.

Notes
In the photos above, an extra dark cocoa powder was used in the frosting. Extra dark cocoa will result in a much darker, almost black frosting.

A delicious Vanilla and Almond cake named after my beautiful wife Fiona.
The carnation flower on top is crafted with white chocolate and a cheese scraper from my home country Switzerland.
It is composed with a crunchy Almond sable based, a recomposed Almond streusel, a moist Almond sponge, a soft Vanilla cremeux, an oldschool Almond praline, a Marzipan Vanilla mousse and a fluffly marshmallow looking like a little fur coat.
