Double Layer Birthday Cake Allergen Free Recipes

VANILLA WACKY CAKE (ALLERGY FRIENDLY)

Steps:

CHOCOLATE VEGAN BIRTHDAY CAKE (SOY-FREE, NUT-FREE, GLUTEN-FREE OPTION)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease two, 8-inch round cake pans (OR one large 9 x 13); set aside. PRO TIP: line the bottom of your cake rounds with parchment or wax paper for easy removal.
• In a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl), combine dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and pink salt. While the mixer is running (or with electric hand beaters), slowly stir in oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Beat for 30 seconds.
• Next, slowly stir in water while mixing. Batter should thin out a bit, however it should have a medium thickness (not too thin and not too thick). Mix for 60 seconds on high to get plenty of air working through the batter; this will help make the cake fluffy and light.
• Divide batter between cake pans and pop in the oven. Cake should cook for 30 minutes, but I usually like to check mine at about 25 minutes to be on the safe side. To check cake, insert a toothpick into the center, checking that it comes out clean. If your toothpick has batter on it, pop it back int the oven for 3-5 minutes more. Cool COMPLETELY before frosting (approximately 2 hours).

• Melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes.

Beat on low speed for 1 minute; increase speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Divide batter between the prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes spring back when gently pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pans for 5 minutes; invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, bring cream just to a boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips; mix until frosting is smooth and starts to thicken.
• Place 1 cooled cake layer on a cake plate. Spread with 1/3 cup frosting. Top with second layer. Frost the top and sides with remaining frosting.
