Provided by Joy Cho

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 servings (one 8-inch square cake)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3/4 cup (105 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (105 grams) sweet rice flour, such as Mochiko
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (150 grams) full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons milk, at room temperature
1 heaping cup (200 grams) semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides (to make it easier to remove the cake after baking) and grease the parchment.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and cream the mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Scrape the bowl once more, then beat in the vanilla. Sift half of the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in the sour cream and milk, then sift in the rest of the dry ingredients and beat just until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Bake the cake, rotating the pan halfway through, for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a small offset spatula and carefully transfer the cake (using the parchment sling to assist) onto a rack to cool completely.

Milk (only if needed for thinning the icing to a spreading consistency)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and flour a 13-inch x 9-inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the beater blade attachment or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 1 - 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Mix in the sour cream and the bananas.
  • Pour in the flour mixture, a little bit at a time, beating continuously until well-incorporated.
  • Spread batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden and a toothpick or tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, fit a stand mixer with the beater attachment or use a large bowl and an electric hand mixer. On medium speed, beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Turn the mixer to low and gradually add the powdered sugar. Once all the powdered sugar has been added, increase the speed to medium and beat for another 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and pinch salt; beat for another minute or so until smooth. Add a little milk (a couple of teaspoons at a time) if the frosting seems too stiff to spread.
  • Spread frosting onto completely cooled cake. Cut into 12 pieces and serve. Cover and store leftover cake in the refrigerator; it keeps well (and keeps getting better) for 3 - 4 days.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cake Mix: Select a cake mix that complements the flavor profile you desire.
  • Properly Grease and Flour Your Pan: Ensure your pan is evenly coated to prevent sticking and promote easy release.
  • Accurately Measure Ingredients: Precise measurements are crucial for achieving the desired texture and taste.
  • Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately: This technique helps incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and fluffy cake.
  • Avoid Overmixing: Overmixing can lead to a dense and tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Follow the recommended baking temperature and time specified in the recipe.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients, especially eggs and butter, contribute to a richer flavor and texture.
  • Cool the Cake Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or decorating to prevent the frosting from melting or becoming runny.

Conclusion:

Baking snack cakes from a mix is an accessible and enjoyable way to satisfy your sweet cravings. With careful preparation, attention to detail, and a dash of creativity, you can transform a simple cake mix into a delightful homemade treat. Experiment with different flavors, frostings, and toppings to create unique and personalized snack cakes that will impress your family and friends. Remember, practice makes perfect, so don't be afraid to experiment and have fun in the kitchen!
