From tongue-in-cheek jabs at marriage to heartfelt declarations of love, there’s no shortage of hilarious and heartwarming cake quotes to choose from. In this recipe, we’ll show you how to create a delicious cake that’s as funny and unique as your relationship.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- Assorted fondant, frosting, and decorating supplies
- Edible markers or food-safe pens
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and place on wire racks to cool completely.

Substitutions:
If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by mixing 1 cup of milk with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, then use as directed in the recipe.
Storage:
This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips:
- Make sure to grease and flour your cake pans well to prevent the cakes from sticking.
- Don’t overmix the batter, as this can result in tough, dry cakes.
- If you’re having trouble getting your fondant to stick to the cake, try brushing a thin layer of water or piping gel onto the surface of the cake before applying the fondant.
Notes:
This recipe makes enough batter for two 9-inch round cakes. If you only need one cake, you can halve the recipe or freeze the extra cake for later.
