It is a basic 3 layer Birthday Cake with comfortable, buttery vanilla cake layers smothered with my favorite chocolate frosting which tastes like one of the best chocolate mousse you’ve ever had! A particular celebration cake devoted to Dozer, for the 13 birthdays I acquired to have with him, and the primary with out.
Birthday cake
That is the birthday cake I at all times dreamt of getting as a child, the one the Kate Miller’s and Tina Wallace’s of the world acquired to have at their birthdays. I’m speaking the basic yellow vanilla cake with a chocolate frosting that’s brown sufficient to know that it’s going to style actually chocolatey, however not so darkish it veers into grown-up territory.
As for me, Mum at all times made her Japanese strawberry shortcake, which I completely love now. However as a child, I simply needed what everybody else had – chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
Anyway, all of it labored out. I grew as much as be a half-decent prepare dinner, so now my birthday cake might be no matter I would like. And that is it!
What the vanilla cake and chocolate frosting style like
This Birthday Cake is made with three layers of my basic Vanilla Cake frosted with My Favorite Chocolate Frosting which actually does style like chocolate mousse. It’s manner much less candy and butter-dense than buttercream, so that you received’t really feel sick after treating your self to a big slice of this cake. Right here’s just a little extra about each so you’ll be able to determine if that is The Birthday Cake for you too.
1. in regards to the vanilla sponge cake
I’ve used my beloved Vanilla Cake for this Birthday Cake as a result of it has a comfortable, buttery crumb that’s a lot plusher than typical yellow muffins. The true clincher is that it stays completely contemporary for as much as 4 days, making it ultimate as a make-ahead cake for events like birthdays, whenever you’ve acquired loads else to juggle. Current wrapping! Get together meals!
2. about my favorite chocolate frosting
It is a frosting I created chasing the proper all-rounder, and I’ve been hiding it from you for just a few years (sorry!). I describe it as a cross between buttercream and whipped ganache besides it’s significantly much less candy and never as wealthy as both of those with lower than one-third the sugar and 40% much less fats than the equal quantity of buttercream.
🤓 Baking consultants – it’s virtually a lifeless ringer for crèmeux or an enriched chocolate crème pâtissière (pastry cream), besides this isn’t custard based mostly ie. no eggs.
It has a texture and flavour like chocolate mousse, just a bit creamier, as you’d anticipate from a frosting. It has terrific chocolate flavour from utilizing each melted chocolate and cocoa, is brown sufficient to know you’re going to style good chocolate flavour, however not so darkish it pushes into grown-up darkish chocolate territory.
It’s fully easy, feels indulgent and wealthy, however in a lighter manner, so even a cupcake piled excessive with frosting doesn’t tip into too-much territory. For context, a typical 3-layer buttercream cake can take round 500g butter and 1 kg icing sugar …….. which is precisely why I maintain coming again to this frosting as an alternative, particularly for multi-layer muffins!
Components for Birthday Cake
I’ve written the complete recipe for each the cake and frosting within the recipe card beneath, however there’s additionally a separate publish for every as a result of I’ve loads to say about each of them! Right here’s the Vanilla Cake, and My Favorite Chocolate Frosting is a brand new publish that I additionally revealed right now.
Here’s what you’ll want to make this Birthday Cake.
1. the vanilla sponge cake
Right here’s what you’ll want to make the vanilla cake layers.
-
Plain / all objective flour – Simply common plain flour. Not cake flour (the crumb of the cake isn’t as velvety), not self-raising flour, not gluten-free flour.
-
Recent eggs – Whipped to aerate, these are key to make the cake terribly mild and fluffy. You don’t get an eggy flavour. The brisker the egg, the higher it whips, the lighter the cake.
-
Baking powder – That is the leavening agent to make the cake rise. Don’t substitute with baking soda (bi-carb), it doesn’t rise as properly.
-
Milk, full fats – simply plain cow milk. Low fats works as properly however rises marginally much less. Don’t substitute with non dairy milk or buttermilk.
-
Sugar – It’s finest to make use of caster / superfine sugar when you can as a result of the finer grains dissolve higher within the eggs. However common / granulated sugar works simply nice too – you might simply find yourself with some little brown spots on the bottom (it’s not a giant deal).
-
Oil – simply 1 tablespoon provides a noticeable trace of additional moistness, particularly on Day 4, with out weighing down the cake within the slightest.
-
Vanilla extract – One of the best you’ll be able to afford. Imitation will work simply nice, however the flavour isn’t as pure or actual. Don’t waste your cash on vanilla beans or vanilla bean paste – it’s not value it for muffins (for my part).
2. for my favorite chocolate frosting
The small print on elements are an abridged model of what I’ve included within the standalone My Favorite Chocolate Frosting publish. So if there’s any ingredient you’re uncertain about or have extra questions on, pop over to My Favorite Chocolate Frosting for extra info.
-
Darkish chocolate – Use darkish chocolate chips or melts (buttons) from the baking aisle (US: semi-sweet chocolate chips). If utilizing a block, chop it up into small items.
Different chocolate – Bittersweet/70% cocoa chocolate additionally works, although the frosting can be barely darker and have a deeper chocolate flavour. Milk and white chocolate are usually not appropriate for this frosting (they’re too comfortable so the frosting can be looser).
-
Thickened cream / heavy cream – Use thickened cream / heavy cream or any whipping cream with 35 – 40% fats (examine the label) like this Dairy Farmers one. This frosting is not going to work with cream lower than 35% fats like low-fat cream, or cream that may’t be whipped (like dolloping cream, pouring cream). 🇦🇺 Australia – listed below are the thickened cream manufacturers I exploit.
-
Dutch processed cocoa powder – This has a richer chocolate flavour and is darker than common cocoa powder. It’s nice to substitute with common unsweetened cocoa energy as an alternative. The frosting can be just a little paler, however I really feel like that may enchantment to some individuals. 🙂
-
Unsalted butter – At room temperature, so it may be whipped.
-
Mushy icing sugar (powdered sugar) – That is used so as to add just a little sweetness to the frosting. 🇦🇺 Australia, use comfortable icing sugar, not pure icing sugar (that one’s for issues like royal icing, which units exhausting).
-
Cream cheese – That is used to create a quantity and stability within the frosting in addition to a beautiful creamy texture. Not like cream cheese frosting, this frosting doesn’t style tangy in any respect, that isn’t the aim of cream cheese right here.
Use block cream cheese, not the spreadable sort that is available in tubs (it’s too comfortable). If spreadable is all you may get, simply bear in mind that the frosting can be just a little softer so whereas nice for spreading, it’s not as secure for piping tall swirls. You’ll be able to thicken the frosting utilizing additional icing sugar – simply beat it in on the finish.
The best way to make this Birthday Cake
Make the cake first. Then by the point they’ve totally cooled, the frosting can even be prepared. From begin to end, together with cooling time, it will take 3 1/2 hours to make (lively time round 1 hour, give or take relying on how briskly you’ll be able to frost cake!).
1. to make the vanilla cake
When you begin making the cake batter, don’t cease till it’s within the oven else the fragile egg bubbles will deflate and your cake received’t rise in addition to it ought to.
-
Whip the eggs and sugar – Beat the eggs with sugar for an entire 7 minutes till thick and shiny, it adjustments from yellow to white, and tripled in quantity (simply over double depth within the bowl). The aeration created throughout this step is essential for a comfortable, fluffy crumb.
-
Progressively add flour – Whisk collectively the flour, baking powder and salt. Then add into egg combination in 3 goes, mixing for simply 5 seconds on Velocity 1 in between. This could make the flour simply included – don’t fear if there are some bits not combined in.
-
Sizzling melted butter in milk – Use a microwave or range to warmth milk with the butter till it melts. Do that throughout step 1.
-
Combine some batter into scorching milk – Pour the new milk right into a bowl (I exploit the used flour bowl). Then whisk about 1 1/2 cups of the cake batter from Step 2 into the new milk, whisking properly till totally mixed. This makes it simpler for the new milk to mix into the batter which helps protect the bubbles within the batter.
ℹ️ We’re additionally tempering the new milk so it doesn’t prepare dinner the egg within the cake batter (tempering = bringing two mixtures to the same temperature in order that they mix easily with out scrambling the eggs).
-
Slowly pour milk combination into the cake batter over 20 seconds on Velocity 1. Scrape down sides of bowls, then combine for 10 seconds on Velocity 1 – the batter ought to now be easy.
-
Pour into 3 x 20cm / 8″ cake pans lined with parchment/baking paper. 23cm/9″ pans can even work, the layers will simply be 25% thinner.
-
Bake for 22 minutes at 180°C/350°F (160°C fan-forced), or till a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clear.
-
COOL the other way up for stage muffins (so you may have neat, straight layers in a layer cake) on a cooling rack.
-
Fridge half-hour – Then cool within the fridge for not less than half-hour earlier than frosting. Chilly muffins are firmer which makes them a lot simpler to deal with and frost cleanly with out tearing or shedding crumbs.
2. to make MY FAVOURITE chocolate frosting
That is primarily made like ganache, with cocoa added for a chocolate flavour enhance, then whipped with cream cheese to make it fluffy and creamy.
-
Bloom cocoa by mixing scorching cream with the cocoa and setting apart for five minutes. The cocoa totally hydrates, deepening the chocolate flavour and smoothing out any graininess for a richer, extra rounded style.
-
Soften chocolate – Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and soften within the microwave in bursts till easy – 30 seconds on excessive, stir, then 20 second increments.
-
Chocolate paste – Whisk the bloomed cocoa into the melted chocolate till it’s lump free.
-
Cool for quarter-hour on the counter – it’ll thicken. Don’t fear if a pores and skin varieties on the floor, it’ll beat out within the subsequent step.
-
Cream butter – In a separate massive bowl, beat butter with a handheld mixer till comfortable and fluffy (about 1 1/2 minutes on excessive), then beat within the icing sugar. It should develop into sandy due to the small quantity of butter we’re utilizing. Beat it till there are not any massive lumps of butter (~ 30 seconds).
-
Cream cheese whip – Then add the cream cheese and beat till the sandy bits incorporate into the cream cheese and turns into a easy combination, about ~30 seconds on excessive. Cease beating as soon as the combination is easy, don’t attempt to aerate at this stage (the cream cheese will get unfastened).
-
Beat in chocolate – Add all of the cooled chocolate paste and beat till mixed.
-
Refrigerate 2 hours – Cowl the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate for two hours till correctly fridge-cold (stick the beaters within the bowl). You’ll be able to depart it within the fridge at this level for so long as you need, restricted solely by the expiration date of your cream.
-
Fluff frosting – Take away bowl from the fridge. The combination must be totally chilly and fairly agency. Pour within the chilly cream – this additional little bit of cream helps aerate the frosting to create quantity. Then beat on excessive for 1 1/2 minutes or till you may have stiff peaks (ie upright Santa hats, not floppy elf hat). The frosting must be fantastically creamy like buttercream but additionally fluffy like whipped cream – higher style take a look at to examine!
Word: The color can be paler than the ultimate color after the frosting units – it darkens by just a few shades.
3. frosting
The recipe makes sufficient frosting to sandwich between the layers, frost the highest and sides, plus leftover to pipe some decorations.
-
Sandwich layers – Place a cake layer the other way up on a serving platter or cake turntable (the other way up = flat floor). Unfold with simply shy of 1 cup of frosting. Cowl with one other cake layer the other way up, unfold with one other 1 cup of frosting, then place the ultimate cake layer on, additionally the other way up.
-
Sides and high – Unfold the perimeters and high with extra frosting.
-
Pipe ornamental swirls on the floor utilizing a star-tip nozzle.
-

Recipe Notes:
- Learn recipe from begin to end earlier than beginning;
- Be certain that your baking powder just isn’t previous its expiry – right here’s the best way to examine;
- Recent eggs make the cake rise correctly (previous eggs don’t aerate as properly);
- Work so as of steps per recipe;
- Don’t incorporate add-ins like funfetti or blueberry (they sink); and
- When you begin, maintain going till it’s within the oven. Don’t at any level depart batter sitting round – bubbles will subside!
Stand Mixer speeds are for a Kitchen Help which has 10 pace settings. Hand beater works for identical occasions and speeds (although not as highly effective, I’ve discovered that the power to maneuver round bowl makes it simply as efficient).
RECIPE NOTES
1. Cake flour works simply nice with this recipe, but it surely’s marginally higher utilizing plain / all-purpose flour (flavour, softness, shelf-life).
2. Caster / superfine sugar is my default for baking because the finer grains dissolve extra simply. Nevertheless, common white sugar (granulated sugar) will work simply nice with this recipe.
3. Eggs – necessary to be at room temp as they fluff higher when whipped which is essential to the fluffy texture of this cake. Additionally, brisker eggs aerate higher = higher rise. Outdated eggs don’t fluff as properly.
Fast technique to heat up fridge chilly eggs – place in a big bowl, cowl with heat faucet water (simply heat, not scorching), depart for five minutes. Wipe dry (to keep away from residual water dripping into bowl), then use per recipe.
Giant eggs – 50 – 55g / 2 oz per egg that is the business customary of egg sizes bought in cartons labelled as “massive eggs” in Australia and the US. See right here for what to do in case your eggs are a lot bigger/smaller.
4. Baking powder – lifeless baking powder is a typical drawback with cake fails, even when not previous the expiry date. Right here’s how to examine yours continues to be good.
Baking soda (bi-carb) received’t make the cake rise fairly as properly. In case you have no selection, then use 3/4 teaspoons of baking soda.
5. Milk – when you sub with decrease fats milk then the feel of the crumb turns into rather less tender. Don’t substitute with non-dairy milk, similar to soy or almond milk.
6. Oil – simply 3 teaspoons makes a noticeable distinction to the tenderness of the crumb AND retains the crumb moist for days.
7. Darkish chocolate – known as semi-sweet chocolate within the US – any chocolate with ~45 – 55% cocoa. Ensure you use chocolate from the baking aisle, not confectionary aisle (solely exception is Lindt blocks). Use chips or melts/discs for comfort, or chop up a block.
Bittersweet/70% additionally works, giving a deeper color and barely firmer frosting. Milk and white chocolate are too comfortable, the frosting can be too unfastened.
8. Cream must be 35% fats minimal to ensure that frosting to thicken as meant. The frosting can be looser when you use a decrease fats cream – nonetheless spreadable however not pipe-able.
9. Dutch processed cocoa is darker and extra intense than common cocoa. Utilizing common will give a lighter color and barely much less depth, however nonetheless nice, no must exit of your manner for Dutch.
10. Cream cheese – I exploit Philadelphia, which is agency however softer than some manufacturers. Firmer cream cheese (like Coles model 🇦🇺) will provide you with a barely extra secure frosting, nonetheless tremendous creamy, so not a foul factor in any respect – it’s really higher when you’re desirous to pipe very tall swirls on cupcakes. Tub cream cheese is extra spreadable, so the frosting can be softer, nice for spreading and sandwiching, however not ultimate for piping.
11. Oven preheating – half-hour preheat is beneficial to make sure no lack of warmth when the oven door is opened. By no means use the fast warmth operate in your oven for baking, irrespective of how fancy your oven is!
12. Cake pans – the batter is kind of skinny so to make sure no leakage, finest to not use a cake pan with a unfastened base or a springform pan. If that’s all you’ve acquired, then use butter to firmly fill the hole (this must be sufficient – I had no leakage after I did this) and for additional insurance coverage, attempt to reduce the paper for the bottom barely bigger so it goes barely up the wall.
13. Knock out massive bubbles – banging cake pans on counter will knock out massive air bubbles within the batter that causes ugly irregular holes within the crumb. It doesn’t burst the tiny bubbles that make the cake rise – they’re too small to bang out!
11. Sweetness word – sweeter than Asian muffins, much less candy than typical Western butter muffins. Please don’t scale back sugar – 1 1/2 cups is minimal required to make the eggs foamy sufficient to rise.
12. Completely different measures in several international locations – tablespoon and cup sizes differ barely from nation to nation. In most recipes, the distinction just isn’t sufficient to have an effect on the end result of the recipe, however for baking recipes, you do have to be cautious. I’ve examined this recipe utilizing each US and Australian cups (the 2 international locations with the best dimension variance) and the muffins had been precisely the identical. So you’ll be able to have faith that this recipe can be utilized irrespective of which nation you’re in – solely exception is Japan (cup sizes are significantly smaller (200ml) so please use weights offered).
For completely certainty, decide to make use of the weights offered (click on Metric toggle button above elements). Skilled kitchens solely use weights.
13. Storage – Muffins might be saved in an hermetic container or particular person wrapped for 4 days within the fridge (or pantry, if it’s cool), it has a wonderful shelf life. Nonetheless nice even on day 7. Freezer 3 months, unfrosted. Frosting might be made the day earlier than then refrigerated, give it a fast whip then use per recipe. As soon as frosted, retailer within the fridge. Muffins are at all times finest served at room temperature, however this frosting stays creamy even when refrigerated.

Remembering Dozer
Dozer’s birthday is that this weekend, and right now’s cake is devoted to him! He at all times did take his birthdays critically. Not in a “grateful for one more yr” type of manner, extra in a “the place is my cake” type of manner. Within the early days, his muffins had been….humble, let’s consider? 😅
However then I began this web site and with that got here expectations! Fancier, taller, outrageously and more and more pointless for a canine who would’ve been simply as thrilled with a single sausage on a plate.
It began like this for his sixth birthday…
Then developed to this for his seventh one, the notorious cake that that seemed so actual, my good friend’s husband ate some, cocked his head and requested “what’s the frosting product of??” (Reply: mashed potato and yogurt 🤣).
Ah sure, that was the notorious cake I took right down to the canine seaside he took a piece out of earlier than the candle was lit!
His eighth birthday was the yr of the pupcakes, just a little extra humble one would possibly assume besides it was additionally the yr of COVID and due to this fact the yr of digital events so I could or might not have delivered dozens upon dozens of pupcakes to Dozer’s associates throughout Sydney for a collection of digital celebrations…..😆 Actually, by that point, I feel everybody was on the lookout for any excuse to carry the lockdown boredom, and I did it with pupcakes!
After which there was probably the most outrageous of all of them – the drip cake. I imply, what sort of loopy canine girl spends hours baking 4 layers, whisking frosting and perfecting a drip …… for a canine who’d demolish it in 10 seconds flat??!!
The reply is, after all, a loopy canine girl who beloved him greater than phrases ever actually handle to seize. ❤️
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Completely satisfied birthday, my stunning Dozer. I’m so grateful for the 13 birthdays I acquired to rejoice with you, and I needed to share one thing celebratory and cheerful for the primary one with out you, to honour the enjoyment you introduced into my life, and our readers.
