Ingredients
- Butter2 ½ sticks
- Sugar5 cups
- Egg4
- Vanilla2 tsp
- Flour2 ¼ cups
- Baking powder2 tsp
- Baking soda1 tsp
- Salt1 ½ tsp
- Buttermilk1 ¼ cups
- Cocoa powder½ cups
- Milk⅓ cups
- Cake sprinkles · for decorating
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line two 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pans with parchment.
- Cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3–5 minutes, scraping the bowl 2–3 times. Beat in the eggs and egg yolk one at a time, 30 seconds after each, then beat in the vanilla.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Add a quarter of the dry mixture to the batter and beat 30 seconds, then add a quarter of the buttermilk and beat 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk, then beat for 3 more minutes.
- Divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly, remove from the pans, and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the butter, cocoa powder and salt on medium speed for about 3 minutes until very thick, scraping the bowl sides.
- On low speed, alternately add the powdered sugar and the milk, raising the speed as the sugar is absorbed. Add the vanilla and beat about 1 minute until smooth and fluffy. Bring to room temperature before frosting if chilled.
