Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 3, 8" round pans with parchment paper. Butter and flour sides (I use Baking PAM for this).
- With a mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light in fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and scraping down sides as needed.
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder.
- In another glass that can pour, mix together buttermilk and vanilla.
- Gradually beat in flour mixture and buttermilk milk mixture, alternating. Begin and end with flour.
- Divide batter among the 3 prepared pans and bake for 25-28 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of pan comes out clean.
- Beat together butter and shortening until light and fluffy.
- In small bowl, mix salt, cocoa powder and powdered sugar together. Beat into butter mixture about 1/2 cup at a time.
- Beat in vanilla and heavy whipping cream until smooth and fluffy.
- Melt chocolate in microwave safe bowl on high in 30 second increments. Stir well after each increment until smooth.
- Use spatula to spread chocolate out on parchment paper. Roll parchment paper up into a tube and put in fridge for 30 minutes. When ready to use, gently unfold parchment paper and break the chocolate off as you go.
- Level cakes.
- Place half of buttercream filling on two layers. Stack, ending with final layer that does not have buttercream. Use a spatula to spread buttercream around the sides. This is a naked cake so you should see cake through some of the frosting - it almost looks like a crumb layer.
- Make ganache: Put chocolate chips and corn syrup in heat proof bowl. Heat heavy whipping cream in microwave safe bowl until boiling. Pour cream over chocolate chips and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk together.
- Transfer ganache to a squeeze bottle and use bottle to pour ganache around edges/sides of cake. Fill in center of top of cake with remaining ganache.
- Use chocolate chards to decorate top of cake.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Line bottom with parchment; butter parchment. Stir together boiling water, cocoa, and chocolate; let cool 10 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
- Beat butter with sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla, then chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in two batches, alternating with sour cream, until just combined. Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula.
- Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes (top will not spring back). Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and remove parchment; let cool completely. Cake can be made up to 1 day ahead and stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic.
- Spread buttercream evenly over top and sides of cake. Sprinkle with chocolate curls. (Leftovers can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days; return to room temperature before serving.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center. Butter two 8-by-2-inch round cake pans. Line with parchment paper. Butter the parchment, and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. Sift cocoa over a medium bowl; whisk in boiling coffee and milk. Let cool; set aside. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt into another medium bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix butter using a rubber spatula until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Gradually add sugar and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Pour in cooled cocoa mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add flour mixture to chocolate mixture, stirring until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pans (about 4 cups in each pan). Bake for 20 minutes, rotate pans, and bake until a cake tester comes out clean when inserted into center of cake, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove cakes from oven, and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool in pans for 15 minutes. Carefully run a small offset spatula around edge of cakes to loosen from pan. Invert cakes onto a wire rack. Let cook completely, about 1 hour.
- To assemble, using a serrated knife, level the top surface of each cake layer. Place four strips of parchment paper around the perimeter of the lazy susan. Place the first layer on the lazy susan. Spread with 3/4 cup buttercream. Top with the remaining layer, bottom-side up. Spread a thin layer of buttercream on the top and sides of cake, called a crumb coat. Chill until the buttercream is set, at least 30 minutes.
- Apply the final coat of buttercream. Smooth the sides with a bench scraper or large offset spatula held steady at a 45-degree angle while turning the lazy susan.
VANILLA SHEET CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE-GANACHE BUTTERCREAM
The quintessential birthday cake is reborn as an ultra-moist sheet cake. Rather than the usual cocoa powder-confectioners' sugar combo, the state-of-the-art frosting is a chocolate ganache that gets whipped with plenty of butter into glossy swoops.

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9‐by‐13‐inch baking pan. Beat butter with sugar, baking powder, and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and yolks, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition and scraping down sides as needed. Beat in both vanillas, then flour in three additions, alternating with milk and beginning and ending with flour. Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with an offset spatula.
- Bake until a tester inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely.
- Buttercream: Place chocolate in a heatproof mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, bring cream and corn syrup to a boil. Pour mixture over chocolate; let stand 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Let cool 30 minutes.
- Beat, gradually adding butter, until all has been added and buttercream is silky and smooth. Continue beating, scraping down bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, about 1 minute more. Makes about 3 cups. Use immediately.
- Assembly: Spread buttercream evenly over cake. (Leftovers can be refrigerated, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days.)
CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH VANILLA BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- Make cake layers:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 (9- by 2-inch) round cake pans and line bottom of each with a round of wax paper. Butter paper and dust pans with flour, knocking out excess.
- Whisk together hot water and cocoa powder in a bowl until smooth, then whisk in milk and vanilla.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in another bowl.
- Beat together butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low and add flour and cocoa mixtures alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture (batter may look curdled).
- Divide batter between cake pans, smoothing tops. Bake until a wooden pick or skewer comes out clean and edges of cake begin to pull away from sides of pans, 25 to 35 minutes total. Cool layers in pans on racks 10 minutes, then invert onto racks, removing wax paper, and cool completely.
- Assemble cake:
- Put 1 cake layer, rounded side up, on a cake stand or platter and, using offset spatula, spread top with about 1 cup buttercream. Top with remaining cake layer, rounded side down, and frost side and top of cake with 2 cups buttercream.
- Decorate cake:
- For each color (you can make up to 5), transfer 3 tablespoons buttercream to a separate small bowl and tint with food coloring. Snip off 1 corner of each plastic bag to create a 1/4-inch opening, then spoon each color of buttercream into a bag, pressing out excess air. Twist each bag firmly just above buttercream, then decoratively pipe colored buttercream onto cake. Chill cake until buttercream is set, about 30 minutes.
- Just before serving, arrange 6 to 8 mini cupcakes on top of cake in 1 layer, then stack remaining mini cupcakes on top.
