Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon purple food coloring
- 8 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 pound black fondant
- 1 small bottle gold edible paint
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin).
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter until light and fluffy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Add heavy cream and beat until smooth.
Mix in the purple food coloring until you achieve the desired hue. Set the frosting aside.
To make the chocolate glaze, melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a cake board or plate. Spread a generous layer of purple frosting on top. Repeat with the second and third layers, covering the entire cake with frosting.
Pour the chocolate glaze over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
Roll out the black fondant and cut out shapes reminiscent of the Black Panther logo or Wakandan patterns. Decorate the cake as desired.
Use gold edible paint to add accents to the fondant details and enhance the regal aesthetic.
Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the glaze to set. Slice and enjoy your Royal Purple Black Panther Cake!
