Ingredients:
– 1 cup boiling water
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups granulated sugar
– 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
– 1 cup milk
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 3-4 cups powdered sugar
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– Fresh strawberries
– Chocolate chips
– White chocolate decorative pieces
– Chocolate roses made from modeling chocolate
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and prepare two 9-inch round baking pans by greasing and flouring them.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix everything together until fully combined.
4. Carefully stir in the boiling water, ensuring the batter is smooth. Note that the consistency will be quite thin.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the heavy cream until you reach your desired frosting consistency. Stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Once the cakes have fully cooled, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of chocolate frosting, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
8. Finish decorating your Chocolate Rose Cake with chocolate roses, fresh strawberries, white chocolate pieces, and chocolate chips to create a stunning presentation.
