Ingredients You’ll Need
You will need these cake batter ingredients to make a perfect Batman cake.
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup hot water or coffee (I usually use coffee. it makes the chocolate taste amazing)
Now, for the frosting:
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup cocoa powder if I want chocolate
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla
- A pinch of salt
For decorating:
- Black fondant
- Yellow fondant for the Batman logo
- Optional: sprinkles or edible glitter
Tools You’ll Need
- 2 or 3 round cake pans
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Spatula
- Cooling rack
- Knife for leveling
- Rolling pin for the fondant
- Cake board or plate
- Piping bags if you want to add extra frosting details
Now, here is a detailed recipe for baking a flawless cake.
Making the Batter
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease your pans and put parchment at the bottom so the cake don’t stick.
- Then mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a big bowl. You can just stir with a spoon; it doesn’t have to be perfect.
- In another bowl, whisk oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. For this part, I prefer to use my hand whisk.
- Now combine the wet and dry mixtures and stir until smooth.
- Then I add the hot water or coffee slowly. The batter appears thin, but that’s okay.
Baking the Cake
- Try to smooth out the batter as you pour it into the pans.
- Bake for about 30–35 minutes. Usually, I use a toothpick to check; if it comes out clean, it’s finished.
- Now, let the cakes cool in the pan for a few minutes, then move them to a cooling rack so they cool completely.
Making the Frosting
- Beat the butter until it’s nice and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar (and cocoa if you want chocolate) a little at a time, with milk so it’s creamy.
- Then add vanilla and a pinch of salt and mix until it looks spreadable.
Assembling the Cake
- To ensure that the layers sit neatly, I use a knife to level the cakes.
- After that, place the first layer on the cake board, cover it with icing, and then place the second layer on top. Repeat if you have three layers.
- Now, cover the cake with a thin crumb coat of frosting and put it in the fridge for about 15–20 minutes.
- Next, roll out black fondant and cover the cake. You can smooth it with your hands or a fondant smoother.
- Finally, cut the Batman logo from yellow fondant and place it on top.
- Optional: add a few sprinkles or glitter for fun.
