Old-Fashioned Yellow Cake With Chocolate Icing
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, sift together the cocoa powder and powdered sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the hot water, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the liquid mixture to the cocoa mixture, stirring until smooth.
-
Once the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of chocolate icing on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining icing.
-
Slice and serve.
