Here’s a guide to making the ultimate chocolate cake with buttercream frosting that will impress everyone at the table. Ingredients For the Chocolate Cake: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour ¾ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder ½ cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 2 tbsp whole milk 50 gms butter 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 tbsp coffee powder For the Buttercream Frosting: 50 gms unsalted butter, room temperature 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 tbsp cornstarch Instructions 1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour cake pans or line them with parchment paper. 2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. 3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, butter, and curd extract to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth. 4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and place them on a wire rack to cool completely. 5. Prepare the Buttercream Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating on low speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 3 minutes until the frosting is light and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. 6. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of buttercream frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire outside of the cake with the remaining buttercream, smoothing it out with a spatula or the back of a spoon. 7. Decorate: For a simple finish, you can leave the cake as is, or you can decorate it with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries. 8. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake into wedges and serve. This cake is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. ---------------------------- ▶️ Please subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/GreyPot ----------------------------- ▶️ Follow me on: ▻ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/greypot.in?_rdc=1&_rdr ▻ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greypot.in/ ▻ Twitter https://twitter.com/Grey_Pot ▻ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.de/Grey_Pot/_created/ ----------------------------- ▶️ Get App https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.app.greypot ----------------------------- ▶️ Worth buying products: https://www.amazon.in/shop/greypot -----------------------------
