How to Make V's Chocolate Coma Cake Triple Layer
- Whisk together 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and 3 teaspoons sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Line the bottoms of three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper. Grease and flour the sides of the pans, or dust with the cocoa-sugar mixture from step 1.
- In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg yolk, and ½ cup milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, beating until well combined.
- Add 1 large egg and 2 large egg yolks; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with 1 cup sour cream and ½ cup mayonnaise. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the cooled cocoa mixture from step 3.
- In a clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the three prepared cake pans.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 20 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely. For easier handling, chill the layers for 30 minutes before frosting.
- **Chocolate Frosting:** Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in ½ cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Transfer the frosting to a stand mixer and gradually beat in 3 cups powdered sugar until smooth and spreadable.
- **Cake Assembly:** Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Frost the top with about ⅔ cup of the frosting. Repeat with the remaining layers.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. For a neater finish, apply a thin crumb coat first, chill for 15-30 minutes, then apply the final layer of frosting. Chill again for 30 minutes before serving.
