Cómo preparar Cafe Latte's Turtle Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper, grease and flour the parchment.
- Dust the prepared pans with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/3 cup vegetable oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined.
- Gradually beat in 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared 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.
- Run a thin knife or offset spatula around the edges of the cakes to loosen them.
- Invert the cakes onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Once cooled, peel off the parchment paper.
- Prepare the frosting: In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup milk, and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and stir in 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and melted.
- If the frosting is too thick, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of hot coffee, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Place one cake layer, top-side down, on a serving plate.
- Frost the top of the layer with 1/3 of the frosting, creating a ripple or petal effect.
- Sprinkle with 1/3 of 1 cup chopped pecans and drizzle with 1/4 cup caramel topping.
- Repeat layers 2 and 3, frosting and topping each layer as described above.
- Chill the cake for at least 1-2 hours before serving.
