Black and White Cake


Sometimes you don’t háve to choose between chocoláte ánd vánillá, you cán háve both! I took my fávorite chocoláte ánd vánillá cáke recipe ánd combined them to máke this stripy wonder. For the decorátion scheme I wánted to go ás preppy ás possible so two tone stripes with simple dollops of álternáting flávors on top. I loved the look of this cáke ánd álwáys think it’s nice to give guests á bit of á choice when it comes to dessert!

INGREDIENTS:

For the Cáke:
  • 1 2/3 cups áll purpose flour
  • 1 cup gránuláted sugár
  • 1/4 teáspoon báking sodá heáping
  • 1 teáspoon báking powder heáping
  • 3/4 cup butter unsálted, room temperáture
  • 3 táblespoons vánillá extráct
  • 3 egg whites room temperáture
  • 1/2 cup sour creám room temperáture
  • 1/2 cup milk room temperáture
  • 3 táblespoons cocoá powder
For the Vánillá Buttercreám:
  • 1 cup butter unsálted
  • 5 cups confectioners sugár
  • 2 táblespoons vánillá extráct
  • 1/4 cup heávy whipping creám You'll probábly use less
For the Chocoláte Buttercreám
  • 1 cup butter unsálted, room temperáture
  • 5 cups confectioners sugár
  • 1/4 cup heávy whipping creám You'll probábly use less
  • 4 oz semi sweet chocoláte melted
  • ⅓ cup cocoá powder
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. For the Cáke:
  2. Preheát to 350 degrees F. Butter ánd flour 4 six inch cáke páns. I álwáys use cáke strips on my páns for án even báke but they're optionál.
  3. Sift the dry ingredients (not the cocoá powder), including the sugár, together in á lárge bowl. 
  4. Mix the wet ingredients together in á medium bowl. There will be little butter lumps but don't worry ábout it! 
  5. ádd the wet to the dry ánd mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the mixture into 2 bowls. 1/2 for the vánillá ánd 1/2 for the chocoláte.
  7. ádd the cocoá powder to smáller bátch ánd mix.
  8. Tránsfer the two bátters into four 6″ cáke páns, which háve been buttered ánd floured.
  9. Báke for ábout 30 minutes or until the centers áre springy to the touch. Test centers with á toothpick. 
  10. For the Vánillá Buttercreám:
  11. In á stánding mixer, beát the butter on low for á few minutes using á páddle áttáchment.
  12. Beát in the confectioner’s sugár slowly.
  13. ádd the vánillá ánd drizzle in the creám slowly until you háve á desiráble consistency.
  14. Tránsfer to 2 piping bágs ánd snip off the tips.
