Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 mini cakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup white frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup mini cake pan by greasing each cavity with butter or cooking spray, or lining with mini paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine and ensure no lumps remain.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Carefully divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini cake pan cavities, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, generously frost each mini cake with white frosting, creating a smooth and even layer.
- For an optional decorative touch, sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top of the white frosting.
- Serve and enjoy your Devil's Food White Out Cake Mini Sized treats!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, prepare your ingredients in advance. Measure out your flour, cocoa powder, and other dry ingredients before you start mixing to streamline the process.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best mixing results. This helps create a lighter, fluffier batter.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to dense cakes, so be gentle!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so start checking your mini cakes a few minutes before the recommended baking time. They’re done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cooling is Key: Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and prevents them from breaking apart.
- Frosting Fun: Get creative with your frosting! Try adding sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or even a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra touch of elegance.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life. Just make sure to let them come to room temperature before serving for the best taste!
