🍰 Vanilla Cake with Buttercream Frosting & Chocolate Drip 🍫

Ingredients:

Cake:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter (softened)
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
• Pinch of salt

Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup butter (softened)
2–3 cups icing sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2–3 tbsp milk

Chocolate Drip:
1/2 cup chocolate
1/4 cup cream


Method:

1. Bake the Cake
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually fold in dry ingredients and milk. Pour into a prepared pan and bake at 170°C (340°F) for 25–30 minutes. Let the cake cool completely.

2. Prepare the Buttercream
Beat butter until smooth. Gradually add icing sugar, vanilla, and milk, beating until light and fluffy.

3. Assemble & Frost
Layer the cooled cake and frost it evenly with buttercream. Smooth the sides for a clean finish.

4. Add the Chocolate Drip
Melt chocolate with cream and let it cool slightly. Pour gently over the edges of the cake, letting it drip down naturally.


Tips:

  • Chill the cake before applying the chocolate drip for better control.
  • For a more decadent flavor, use a mix of dark and milk chocolate.
  • Decorate the top with sprinkles, fruits, or edible flowers for an Instagram-worthy look.
