Dairy Milk Cake

A Dairy Milk Cake is a delightful dessert that incorporates the smooth and creamy flavor of Dairy Milk chocolate into a moist and indulgent cake. Here’s a simple recipe to make a Dairy Milk Cake:

Ingredients:

For the Cake:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 100g Dairy Milk chocolate, melted and cooled

For the Frosting:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Additional Dairy Milk chocolate for decoration (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
   • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
   • Stir in the melted Dairy Milk chocolate until evenly incorporated.
3. Bake the Cake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Prepare the Frosting:
   • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
   • Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating until smooth.
   • Add the milk or cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.
   • Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Frost the Cake:
   • Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake using an offset spatula or butter knife.
   • If desired, grate or shave additional Dairy Milk chocolate over the top of the frosted cake for decoration.
6. Serve:
   • Slice the cake and serve it as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Tips:

• Make sure to use room temperature ingredients for the cake batter and frosting to ensure even mixing.
• If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles.
• Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.

Enjoy your delicious Dairy Milk Cake!
