How to cook deliciously - Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Frosting

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease and flour two round baking pans. Sift the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder together in a large bowl. Add the canola oil, brewed coffee and milk, then mix at medium speed for a minute. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat for an additional two minutes until you have a thin, smooth batter. Pour into the baking pans.

2. Stage

Bake the cake mix for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

3. Stage

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk the flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then stir for a minute or two until thickened. Transfer to a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

4. Stage

In a large bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla for three to four minutes until creamy. Add the chilled milk and flour mixture and beat for a further 10 minutes. Stir in sprinkles if desired. Spread the frosting between the layers and over the top and sides of the cake. Editor’s Tip: Start with slightly cold butter so that it doesn’t melt. Keep on beating the final mixture until you’ve got stiff peaks.
