Hi, today I made a cake, it was really good, I want to tell people about it
So I love yellow box cake and chocolate frosting. Peak of dessert.
And then adam regusea uploaded a video making yellow cake with chocolate butter cream and I had to make it
Here’s mine :)
Full disclosure, I didn’t use the same frosting as him. Buttercream uses an ungodly amount of butter, so I made a chocolate cream cheese frosting instead. It tasted super good.
The one thing I’ll say is that the cake itself turned out a bit on the dry side? Not super dry, just slightly. There are any number of factors that could’ve let to that, though. I used 9 inch pans instead of 8, I had to replace the buttermilk with a Greek yogurt/milk combo, I used more flour proportionally, really it could be anything. I also just think most cakes are dry, I have very high cake standards.
So yeah! Pretty good.
Here’s the cake recipe, there’s a full video about it on the YouTube channel Adam Regusea which I lightly demand you watch so you can have more instructions and his buttercream recipe lol
And this is a link to the cream cheese frosting I used , you don’t even have to double it or anything. Perfect amount for a double layer cake.
Thanks for tolerating my baking nerdiness. This was a very fun use of two hours and definitely the prettiest any of my cakes have turned out before lol. I tend to have a lot of troubles with cake, but this one went perfectly.
