Time 2h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened regular or dark baking cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 bottle (1 oz) black food color
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 containers (12 oz each) cream cheese whipped ready-to-spread frosting
Black string licorice, if desired
Black jelly beans, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease 3 (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans with shortening; lightly flour.
  • In large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In another large bowl, beat oil, buttermilk, eggs, food color, vinegar and vanilla with electric mixer on low speed just until blended. Gradually add flour mixture; beat 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pans.
  • Bake 23 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Brush off all loose crumbs from cake layers. Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate; spread with 1 cup frosting. Top with second cake layer, rounded side up. Spread with 1 cup frosting. Top with third cake layer. Spread very thin layer of frosting on side to seal in crumbs. Spread remaining frosting on side and top of cake. Cut licorice into pieces. Pile licorice on top of cake. Decorate bottom edge of cake with jelly beans.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup cold espresso
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup butter, melted
1 1/3 cups dark cocoa powder
6 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray one 10-inch bundt pan or two 9-inch round pans with a nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, coffee, milk and oil. Mix until smooth; batter will be thin.
  • Pour into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven 35 to 40 minutes for bundt pan, 25 minutes for 9-inch round pans, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, mix together melted butter and cocoa. Alternately add powdered sugar and milk, beating to spreading consistency.
  • Add a small amount of additional milk, if needed. Stir in vanilla.
  • Frost cake and garnish as desired.

Tips:

  • Use unsweetened cocoa powder for a richer chocolate flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cakes.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, use a chocolate frosting made with melted chocolate.
  • Store the frosted cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Black Velvet Baby Cakes are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and chocolatey, with a rich cream cheese frosting.
