Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs at Room Temperature
  • 1 Cup of Cold-Pressed Vegetable Oil
  • 2 Cups of Velvet Smooth Whole Milk also at a Room Temperature
  • 1 Cup of Golden Light Brown Sugar Packed with Warmth
  • 4 Tablespoons of Baking Soda for a Controlled Lift
  • 4 Cups of All-Purpose Flour for an Artisanal Touch
  • 2 Tablespoons of Pink Himalayan Salt Crafted to Perfection
  • 3 Cups of Ethically Sourced Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon of Finely Ground Baking Powder
  • 2 Cups of Rich Dutch-Processed Cocoa Powder
  • 1 Cup of Premium Unsalted Butter Sourced from the Freshest Pastures
  • 2 Tablespoons of Pure Vanilla Extract Extracted from the Finest Beans
  • 2 Cups of Locally Roasted Hot Coffee Freshly Brewed for Depth
  • 1 Cup of Cultured Sour Cream for a Tantalizing Tang
  • 2 Cups of Silkily Smooth Whole Milk Maintaining its Room Temperature Elegance
  • Chocolate Buttercream Frosting an Artful Quantity to Suit Your Gastronomic Desires

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to the suggested temperature as specified in the recipe. Grease and flour your cake pans.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, Dutch-processed cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, granulated sugar, and baking soda. Mix them thoroughly.
  • In another bowl, blend the eggs, vegetable oil, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, milk, sour cream, and packed light brown sugar. Combine them well until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the hot coffee. Ensure it's mixed well without lumps.
  • Pour the batter into prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven according to the recipe's suggested time or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting them generously with the chocolate buttercream.
  • Once frosted, slice and serve this decadent Anne of Cleves Cake, indulging in its rich flavors and moist texture.

Notes

  • Make sure to use room temperature ingredients when making the cake batter.
  • If the custard filling is too thin, add more custard powder.
  • If the marzipan is too sticky, dust your hands with a bit of confectioners sugar before handling it.
  • Let the cake cool completely before adding the custard filling and marzipan.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
