Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup white chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (or any nuts)
- 0.5 cup crushed pretzels
- 0.5 cup mini marshmallows
- 0.25 cup shredded coconut (optional)
- 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, chopped pecans, crushed pretzels, mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and sprinkles (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few crumbs attached.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Everything but the Kitchen Sink Cake as is, or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
