<\/p>\n
2 C. (256 grams) cake flour (not self-rising)<\/p>\n
2 tsp. (8 grams) baking powder<\/p>\n
\u00bd tsp. (3 grams) fine sea salt<\/p>\n
8 T. (112 grams) unsalted butter, softened<\/p>\n
1 C. (200 grams) sugar<\/p>\n
3 large eggs, left at room temperature for 30 minutes<\/p>\n
1 \u00bd tsp. (7 ml) vanilla extract<\/p>\n
\u00be C. (177 ml) whole milk<\/p>\n
For the chocolate frosting<\/p>\n
5 ounces (142 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips<\/p>\n
\u00bd C. (120 grams) sour cream<\/p>\n
1 T. (15 ml) whole milk<\/p>\n
1 tsp. (5 ml) vanilla extract<\/p>\n
Pinch of fine sea salt<\/p>\n
Rainbow sprinkles<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F with a rack in the center. Butter and flour an 8 x 8-inch baking pan, tapping out any excess flour. Into a medium mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, beat butter and sugar together on medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Add vanilla and beat for 5 minutes more. Reduce mixer speed to low and alternate between adding the flour mixture (in 3 parts) and the milk (in two parts), starting and ending with flour. Mix just until batter is smooth \u2014 do not overmix. Spread batter into pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, just until a cake tester comes out clean from the center. Cake will be pale, not brown. Cool completely before frosting. For the chocolate frosting Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in short bursts (about 30 seconds each) in the microwave, stirring between bursts. When melted, stir in sour cream, milk, vanilla and salt until smooth and glossy. Spread immediately onto cooled cake. Decorate with sprinkles. Frosting will set over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
