CLASSIC BIRTHDAY CAKE 🥳 yellow cake with chocolate

CLASSIC BIRTHDAY CAKE 🥳 yellow cake with chocolate frosting makes me so nostalgic for my childhood birthdays + my homemade version captures that moist and fluffy texture of box mix, but it’s 100% HOMEMADE! Pair it with chocolate frosting + lots of rainbow sprinkles and make it to celebrate someone special 💛

Full recipe (with chocolate frosting) is linked in my bio or at https://sugarandsparrow.com/yellow-cake-recipe/

INGREDIENTS
2 Cups (210g) sifted cake flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 Cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temp
3 Tbsp (45ml) vegetable oil
1 1/3 Cups (267g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temp
2 large egg yolks, room temp
1/3 Cup (80g) sour cream, room temp
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 Cup (180ml) whole milk, room temp

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease and line three 6-inch or two 8-inch cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, add the sifted cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
3. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or with a handheld mixer and large bowl), beat the butter on high speed until it’s creamy, 2 min. Add the vegetable oil and sugar, then continue to mix on medium-high until pale and fluffy, 2 min. Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, mixing on low speed for 10-15 seconds after each addition. Add the vanilla and sour cream and turn the mixer to high speed for 1 min.
4. Turn the mixer off and add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix on low speed until the ingredients just start to combine, then add the milk in a steady stream and continue mixing until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 28-32 minutes. Let the cakes cool, then fill and frost with chocolate buttercream (full recipe linked in my bio!)

S’MORES ICEBOX CAKE 🔥 Every bit as gooey and decad

S’MORES ICEBOX CAKE 🔥 Every bit as gooey and decadent as it seems and I am blown away at how EASY this recipe is! It’s layers of graham crackers, chocolate ganache, and homemade marshmallow creme, piled high in a loaf pan and refrigerated overnight. The graham crackers soften into a cake-like texture and transform this dessert into the easiest s’mores cake ever.

WHIPPED MASCARPONE FROSTING ✨silky smooth, delicio

WHIPPED MASCARPONE FROSTING ✨silky smooth, deliciously light, and the perfect consistency for cake decorating (including filling layer cakes + piping)! Imagine a whipped cream frosting with notes of rich mascarpone cheese and that’s what this frosting tastes like. It’s a DREAM on my orange poppyseed cake and I can’t stop thinking of other Spring/Summer cake flavors I want to try it with!

Full recipe with cake pairing suggestions at https://sugarandsparrow.com/whipped-mascarpone-frosting/

INGREDIENTS:
1 Cup (8oz, 227g) mascarpone cheese, cold
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt
1 Cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
2 Cups (240g) powdered sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. With the whisk attachment on a stand mixer (or hand mixer with a large bowl), beat the mascarpone, vanilla, and salt together at medium speed until creamy, 1-2 min
2. Turn the mixer to low and add the heavy whipping cream slowly, then turn the mixer to medium speed and beat until soft peaks form, which could take less than 1 min (keep an eye on it!). You should be able to dip a spatula into the mixture and see a peak that slightly droops when held upright.
3. Add the powdered sugar all at once and mix on low speed until incorporated, then turn the mixer to medium speed and whip for about 30 seconds longer, until the frosting is thick and silky. Use right away or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
