Curly Boy Cake

Hi all.

I wanted to share this cake recipe with you because I tried it and fell in love! My aunt introduced it to me. It is the perfect cake for when you're having a big party, or you can enjoy it yourself for a week or so, because the cake turns out big.  This is a cake that you want to be done with Saturday morning if you want to serve it on Sunday, because the longer it stands, the more moist the cake will be, the better the taste.

Cake Ingredients:

Note: you will need to bake two cakes, add 2 tbsp. of cocoa to the second cake.
3 eggs
1 cup sugar1 teaspoon baking soda & lemon juice
1 cup buttermilk (or sour cream)
½ can condensed milk
2 cups flour
(2 tablespoons cocoa for other cake)

Cream Ingredients:

48oz. Sour cream, reserve two tbsp. for the glaze.
2 cups powdered sugar
¾ cup milk
1(14 oz) can condensed milk

Chocolate glaze:

2 tablespoons sour cream
3 tablespoons milk
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons dutch cocoa
3 tablespoons butter

Cake: 

Beat together eggs and sugar until pale in color. Mix baking soda with lemon juice then add to buttermilk and mix it well. Transfer to egg mixture. 

Add condensed milk and mix on medium speed until well combined. Add the flour. Transfer the batter to a baking pan and bake approximately 30-40 minutes depending on your oven. 

Repeat the steps for next cake and just add the cocoa. I wait to make the second cake, then put them in the oven at the same time. Cool cakes completely. 

Cream:

Beat together sour cream and sugar. Add milk and beat for about 5 minutes on medium-high speed.

Chocolate glaze:

Combine sour cream, milk, sugar, and cocoa in a small saucepan. Heat it up on medium- low heat. When it starts to boil add the butter and cook until thickens ( a few minutes).

Assembling the cake:Slice the white cake in half. Spread condensed milk on the cake. Yes, use the entire thing. It's doesn't become too sweet. Spread the cream. Place the other half on top. Spread the cream on top and sides.

Cut the chocolate cake into 1 1/2 inch squares/cubes. Throw in about 7 squares at a time in to the bowl with cream and coat completely. My aunt doesn't do this, she puts the chocolate layer just as you'd do a regular cake. I like the  unique look of it when you cut it into squares.

Arrange the squares on top of the white cake. Using a spoon add the chocolate glaze all over the cake. 

Let it stand at room temperature for an hour or so before placing it in the fridge. Let it stand for at least 24 hours for best results so it has time to become moist. Of course, putting it overnight is fine too. 

It is best served if it stands at room temperature for about half an hour before serving. 

Blessings,
