Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
- 1/2 cup crushed chocolate cookies
- 1/3 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line two 8 inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Beat softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until fluffy to make the buttercream.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a layer of buttercream on top, then place the second layer over it.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake evenly with remaining buttercream.
- Decorate with rainbow sprinkles, chocolate chunks, crushed chocolate cookies, and drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top.
- Slice and serve at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
- Sift cocoa powder before mixing to avoid lumps in the batter.
- Chill the frosted cake for 20 minutes before adding heavy toppings for better stability.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
