CHOCOLATE-CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE
This is the birthday cake I've made for my son since he was about 11. After boxed cakes, ice-cream cakes, a cake in a Darth Vader mold (that year, the party's theme was "May the Fours Be With You), this cake hit the spot and remains a favorite. It's a double-layer devil's-food cake made with cocoa and bittersweet chocolate, the same pair that makes the frosting so luscious. You can make the layers ahead of time, wrap them and freeze them for up to a month. As for the frosting, it's best spread between the layers and over the cake when it's just made. Once assembled, the cake can be refrigerated overnight. It cuts most easily when it's cold but tastes best when it's at room temperature, which is about what it will be once the candles are blown out and the slices put on plates. Ice cream alongside is unnecessary but nice. Hey, it's a birthday!

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven, and preheat it to 350. Butter the interiors of two 9-inch round cake pans, dust with a little cocoa powder and tap out the excess. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Working with an electric mixer (use the paddle, if you have one), beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, and beat for a minute after each goes in; beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low, and add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the buttermilk in 2 (start and finish with the dry, and don't worry if the buttermilk makes the batter look slightly curdled). Mix in the melted chocolate. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
- Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until a tester poked into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Transfer to racks, let rest 5 minutes and then run a blunt knife around the edges of the pans. Unmold the cakes onto the racks, and cool to room temperature.
- Make the frosting: Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder. Using an electric mixer (with the paddle, if available), beat the sugar, cocoa, salt and butter on high speed until fluffy. On low speed, add the chocolate. When it's almost incorporated, beat in the buttermilk. It's best to use the frosting immediately.
- If necessary, just before you're ready to frost the cakes, slice a sliver off the top of each layer to create a flat surface. To assemble, place one cake layer, top up, on a serving platter, and cover with frosting. Top with the second layer, top down, jiggling it into the frosting to hold it in place. Frost the top and sides of the cake - go sleek or swirly. If you're using decorations, scatter them over the cake. Chill for at least 1 hour (or for up to 1 day); bring to room temperature before serving.

CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE
Steps:
- For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray two 9-inch cake pans with baking spray. In a the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment running at low speed, combine the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Turn up the speed slightly and mix in the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla extract until just combined. In a medium bowl pour 1 1/3 cups boiling water over the cocoa powder and blend well with a whisk. Pour the cocoa mixture into the mixing bowl with the other ingredients and mix until well incorporated. Divide the batter evenly into two prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a rack 15 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto racks and let cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- For the Swiss meringue buttercream:Place a metal mixing bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler, making sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Put the sugar and egg whites in the bowl and whisk lightly until the mixture reaches 140 degrees F, all the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is silky-smooth to the touch. Pour the egg white mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and add the vanilla. Beat until fluffy, glossy white peaks form, 5 to 10 minutes. Lower the mixer to the slowest speed and slowly add the butter and salt. The mixture will slowly thicken up and smooth out into the silkiest buttercream ever!
- For the chocolate ganache: Warm the heavy whipping cream over medium heat until it is just boiling, then pour over the chocolate chips and let sit, 1 minute. Stir the mixture with a whisk until all of the chocolate chips are melted and you have a smooth, creamy texture (you may microwave for 30 seconds and mix again until all of the chips are melted). Add the vanilla extract.
- Assemble the cake: Place one of the cake layers on a serving plate and coat the top with some of the Swiss meringue buttercream (reserve the remainder for another use). Chop up the strawberries and sprinkle them over the buttercream. Place the second layer of cake on top and ice the entire cake with the chocolate ganache. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Cake:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease, lightly flour and line the bottom of two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a standing mixer or in a large bowl with a hand-held mixer, cream together the butter and granulated sugar on high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping the side of the bowl as necessary.
- Reduce the mixer to low speed. Add the whole eggs and the egg white, one at a time, to the creamed butter mixture.
- Add the vanilla and buttermilk; mix until well combined.
- In 3 separate additions, add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing after each just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the cake batter evenly between the two cake pans; place in the oven.
- Bake for 22 to 25 min. or until you insert a toothpick or a cake tester into center of cake, and it comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks until completely cool.
- Frosting:
- Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, butter, and vanilla to the bowl of a standing mixer or to a large bowl with a hand-held mixer. Mix together, increasing the speed of the mixer gradually.
- Whip the frosting ingredients together until fluffy, about 2 min. Gradually add the whole milk, whipping after each addition. Keep adding the milk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Place the first cooled cake layer on a cake stand or plate.* Spread a layer of frosting on top of the first layer, and then place the second layer on top of the first.
- For a smooth cake, apply a crumb coat of frosting. To apply the crumb coat, apply a thin amount of frosting all over the cake. The cake should still show through and crumbs should be sticking to the frosting. Refrigerate the cake for 20 min. This seals the crumbs to the cake so the final layer of frosting goes on evenly.
- After the crumb coated cake has chilled, apply the rest of the frosting and decorate as desired.
- For easy slicing, chill the cake an hour before serving.
