Made this classic yellow cake with fudge icing for my mom’s birthday—infused with amarena cherry juice for a little extra magic! 🎂🍒 The icing is rich, creamy, and so simple to make: • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted • 5 cups powdered sugar, sifted • 3–4 tbsp heavy whipping cream (instead of milk) • 2 tsp vanilla extract • Pinch of salt Beat butter and cocoa until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and heavy cream, alternating until fluffy. Add vanilla and salt, then spread over your cake. (I used 1 tbsp of vanilla and 1 tbsp of cake batter flavor) Who else loves a cake that’s both classic and a little extra?
