Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted and cooled
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy release.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the mixture. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Divide the batter evenly into two bowls. To one bowl, sift in the cocoa powder and mix until smooth to create the chocolate batter.
Step 6
Pour the vanilla batter into one prepared cake pan and the chocolate batter into the other.
Step 7
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and heavy cream together in a large bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Step 10
Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, and continue to beat until the frosting is smooth and holds its shape.
Step 11
Gently fold in the melted and cooled chocolate to create a rich, smooth chocolate cream frosting.
Step 12
Once the cakes are completely cool, place the chocolate cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting evenly over the top.
Step 13
Place the vanilla cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Smooth the sides and top with a spatula for an even finish.
Step 14
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
Step 15
Slice and serve your 'Slice of Heaven Cake' and enjoy with family and friends!
