Zubereitung von Old Fashioned Yellow Cake With Chocolate Icing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened shortening and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with three additions of 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
- In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Make the Chocolate Icing:** In a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water), melt 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips.
- Stir in 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk until smooth and creamy.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, until fully incorporated.
- Stir in 1 large egg yolk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and thick.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of icing. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake.
