I wanted to prepare layer cake for so long. But I was not so sure how to cut the cake and do frosting. While searching for a simple frosting my eyes got into sour cream frosting. It was so simple and very easy to prepare and it was not so heavy, so didn't have a guilty conscious of having more :)
Since I brought sour cream more, I thought of using it in cake too. The cake turned so good. For the top layer I used Betty crocker chocolate frosting mixed with sour cream. Try this simple cake.
Ingredients:
Vanilla cake:
Chocolate cake:
For frosting:
Pre heat the oven to 350 deg F.
For vanilla:
Sieve the all purpose flour. In a bowl mix sour cream, baking powder and baking soda. Leave aside for 5 minutes. Whisk sugar,oil and vanilla extract with sour cream. Gradually mix flour and mix till smooth. Grease a round pan and pour the batter and bake for 10 - 15 minutes or bake until the tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
For chocolate:
Sieve the all purpose flour and cocoa powder. In a bowl mix sour cream, baking powder and baking soda. Leave aside for 5 minutes. Whisk sugar and oil with sour cream. Gradually mix flour and mix till smooth. Grease a round pan and pour the batter and bake for 10 - 15 minutes or bake until the tooth pick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
For frosting:
Whisk sour cream and powdered sugar well. When cools, slice the vanilla and chocolate cake into half . Smoother the sides and save the cake crumbs.
Apply a smooth layer of frosting on the top of chocolate cake. Then alternate the vanilla and chocolate cake to 3 layers applying frosting on each top.Then apply frosting on sides and top layer and garnish with roasted walnuts or cake crumbs.
For the top and side layers I mixed Betty crocker chocolate frosting with the sour cream and sugar mixture.
Note:
