Towering Birthday Cake

Chocolate Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup butter
1 cup shortening
3 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup milk
2 teaspoons orange extract
12 ounces mini semisweet chocolate chips

Yellow Layer Cake:
4 cups cake flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound butter (2 sticks), softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs plus 2 yolks, well beaten
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups milk

Sugar Glaze:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 tablespoon rum

For Chocolate Buttercream Frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend butter, shortening and sugar with the paddle attachment until creamy!. Add the cocoa to the butter mixture along with the milk and extract!. Continue to mix until well combined!. Turn off the mixer and gently fold in chocolate chips with a spatula!. Set frosting in the refrigerator to firm up to a spreadable consistency while the cake is prepared!.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F!. Coat 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with nonstick cooking spray, including sides!. Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit the pan bottoms and lay in place!. Then spray the paper!.

Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside!. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth!. Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy!. Beat in the eggs, a little at a time!. Stir in the vanilla until well blended!. Scrape down the sides of the bowl!. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the milk!. Beat for 1 minute after each addition to incorporate the ingredients and strengthen the cake's structure!. Mix until the batter is smooth!.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the surface with a spatula, the pans should be 2/3 full!. Place pans on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when touched!.

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack, peel off the paper and let cool for at least 1 hour!. Level the tops of the cakes with a serrated knife if domed in the middle!. To divide each cake in half to give 4 layers: cut a vertical notch on the side of the cakes so you can easily line up the layers when assembling!. Place one hand flat on top and the serrated blade along the side of the cake!. Rotate the cake against the knife as you slice!. Carefully separate the layers and brush away any loose crumbs!. To make sugar glaze: combine sugar, water and rum in a small saucepan!. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes!. Brush the sugar glaze on the cake layers to moisten and add extra flavor!.

Put a cardboard cake round or plate on a lazy Susan; so it easier to turn and frost the cake!. Lay 1 cake layer on the plate!. With a metal spatula, spread about 1/2 cup of chocolate buttercream frosting on top of the base!. Carefully place another cake layer on top!. Do this for the remaining 2 layers!.

Frost the top and sides of the cake thoroughly!. Refrigerate for 45 minutes before decorating or cutting!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Add eggs one at a time to creamed mixture, beating well after each addition!. Add flour mixture alternately with milk and flavoring, beating after each addition until smooth!. Add package of pudding and milk and mix well together!. Pour batter into three greased and floured nine-inch layer pans!. Bake at 350o for 25 to 30 minutes!.

If using a bundt pan, grease and flour the pan as normal!. Bake at 350o for 1 hour!. Note: If you are making a rum cake and decide to top the cake with chopped nuts, place them in bottom of your greased bundt pan before pouring in the batter!.

FROSTING

Cream the cheese, make sure it is soft!. Add in powdered sugar to cheese!. This frosting can easily be flavored by adding cocoa to make it chocolate, colored and various flavorings added!.

SPECIAL TIPS & POINTERS (guard these with your life)

A trick I always do is before I do anything I separate the egg whites and beat them until stiff!. This keeps the cake from getting heavy!. Follow the rest of the recipe as given!. Fold in yolks with egg whites!. Another trick is the scoop the batter up the sides of the cake this will allow it to rise in the middle without making the cake too high in the middle!. Don't be afraid to cut off part of the cake to get the layers level!. Remember if it is too high you are going to have a hard time frosting the cake!.

CARAMEL FROSTING

1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cream
1 tbl of flour
1 stick of butter

In two separate boilers, one start the 1/2 cup sugar, in the other the remaining sugar and cream, the 1/2 sugar with slowly start to melt and turn brown, make sure it is totally dissolved and don't let it brown!. In the other pot at the same time the other mixture should come to a boil!. Add the two together being careful to stir at the same time!. Once it is all mixed together, stir in the flour!. Add stick of butter!. Mix well and allow it to chill!. You will love this frosting because you are really letting it run over the cake!. Place some in between each layer!. Once they are stacked pour it over the entire cake!. You will probably have to use a spatula to make sure you get it over the entire cake!. A trick I always use is I place the cake on my cooling rack and position it over the sink; this way the excess will run into the sink and the clean up will be kept to a minimumWww@FoodAQ@Com
