Yellow Cake and The BEST Chocolate Buttercream Icing
My dad loves cake, but one of his favorites is a yellow cake with chocolate icing. I searched and had trial and error to be able to find the best recipes to make my dad a homemade birthday cake.
I have to give extreme credit to recipe creators, because it is so hard to find the perfect ingredients.
Yellow Cake
So I am going to be completely real with y'all. I wanted to make this cake completely homemade, but ain't nobody got time for that. So instead I used a store bought box of cake mix and made my cake that way. I used two 9 inch round pans for my cakes. I just followed the directions on the box and it turned out gooooddd.
Chocolate Buttercream
This may be the best chocolate buttercream I have ever had. I could sit there and eat it by itself it was so good. I had never made homemade icing until my trial run and y'all it was so bad. I didn't soften the butter enough the first time and there were seriously chunks of butter in my icing that you could see on the cake. Shoutout to my husband for making it at least a little better by heating the cake up in the microwave to melt the butter, and yes that was after it was iced. And so in the freezer it went after that.
