Dick Cake

Preparation Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Cake In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and instant coffee powder.

3.Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until fully combined.

4.Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring the batter. The batter will be thin, but that's normal.

5.Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.

6.Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Frosting Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

8.In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.

9.Place one cake layer on a serving platter and spread a generous amount of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.

Decoration For decorations, roll out the fondant icing and use it to create desired shapes or figures. Use food coloring and edible glitter to add color and sparkle. Use cake decorating tools to add additional details.

11.Serve and enjoy the delicious Dick Cake!
