Cake Base

Method

Cake Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cream Filling Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, butter, vegetable shortening, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat until smooth and creamy.

  2. 9

    Fill the Cakes

    Once the cake base has cooled, cut it into individual rectangles or rounds. Use a piping bag to fill each piece with the cream filling.

Chocolate Coating Preparation

  1. 10

    Melt Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semisweet chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

  2. 11

    Coat the Cakes

    Dip each filled cake into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place on a wire rack to set.
