BLACK VELVET CAKE 🖤👻 fun facts about this re

BLACK VELVET CAKE 🖤👻 fun facts about this recipe: 1) it doesn’t use ANY food coloring (black cocoa powder magic!) 2) it’s genuinely one of my favorite cakes to eat because it tastes like Oreos 🙌🏼 and 3) I recently made a small batch version that yields a MINI spooky layer cake! You can find that recipe on the homepage of sugarandsparrow.com right now. Here’s the beloved full-sized version: ⁣
⁣⁣
BLACK VELVET CAKE⁣⁣
Yield: 3 6-inch layers or 2 8-inch layers ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
INGREDIENTS⁣⁣⁣
2 Cups (265g) all purpose flour⁣⁣⁣
1 2/3 Cups (340g) granulated sugar⁣⁣⁣
2/3 Cup (80g) black cocoa powder⁣⁣⁣
2 tsp baking soda⁣⁣⁣
1 tsp baking powder⁣⁣⁣
1/2 tsp salt⁣⁣⁣
1/2 Cup (120ml) vegetable oil⁣⁣⁣
2 large eggs, room temperature⁣⁣⁣
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract⁣⁣⁣
1 Cup (240ml) full-fat buttermilk*⁣
1 Cup (240ml) hot coffee⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
INSTRUCTIONS ⁣⁣⁣
1. Preheat the oven to 350F/177C and prepare three 6-inch or two 8-inch cake pans by spraying the sides with cooking spray and fitting the bottoms with a wax paper or parchment cake circle. ⁣⁣⁣
2. Whisk all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk until fully combined. Add the hot coffee in a slow stream and whisk until smooth. The batter will be very thin. ⁣⁣⁣
3. Pour into prepared cake pans no more than 2/3 full and bake for 32-36 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before filling and frosting with a double batch of the dye-free black buttercream recipe from a few Reels back.⁣⁣⁣

*If you can’t find buttermilk, mix together 1 Cup (240ml) whole milk + 1 Tbsp white vinegar as a substitute. ⁣

OATMEAL CREME PIE CAKE ✨ever since I discovered

OATMEAL CREME PIE CAKE ✨ever since I discovered that marshmallow cake filling from a few Reels ago I couldn’t stop dreaming up this cake combo: layers of perfectly moist oatmeal brown sugar cake + soft and gooey marshmallow filling. Inspired by one of my fave childhood treats (@thereallittledebbie Oatmeal Creme Pies) which honestly still slap to this day. ⁣
