How to Make B 52 Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, milk, coffee liqueur, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick 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.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the Kahlúa buttercream frosting: In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and Kahlúa, beating until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops with a serrated knife if necessary.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Frost the top evenly with half of the buttercream frosting.
- Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream frosting.
- Chill the cake for at least 4 hours (or up to 24 hours) to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans before serving (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
