2 Tier Chocolate Truffle Cake

Ingredients

This recipe will make a 2 tier chocolate truffle cake that serves 12 people. For the cake, you will need:

1 cup of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1/2 cup of cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of butter
1 cup of white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 cup of milk
2 tablespoons of heavy cream

Instructions

To make the cake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt. Set this bowl aside.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined. Add the vanilla extract, milk, and cream and mix until fully incorporated. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a cooling rack. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.

To make the frosting, cream together 1/2 cup of butter and 8 ounces of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 cups of confectioners' sugar and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder until fully combined. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated. Place one layer of the cake on a platter or cake stand and spread a thin layer of frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top of the first and spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
