Dobash Cake Recipe Liliha Bakery

DOBERGE CAKE (DOBASH)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 5 8-inch cake pans, and line them with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the cake mix, baking powder, flour, and sugar in a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, beat the mixture with water, vegetable oil, and egg whites at low speed until thoroughly mixed; increase speed to medium, and beat 2 minutes. Scoop 1 cup of batter into each of the 5 prepared cake pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are set in the middle, about 8 minutes; watch carefully so the thin cakes don't burn. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.
• Whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk in a bowl until thoroughly blended; let stand 2 minutes to thicken. Place a cake layer on a serving dish, and spread with about 1/2 cup of pudding; repeat with remaining layers and pudding, ending with a cake layer.
• In a bowl, mash the cream cheese and butter together until thoroughly combined; mix in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk, slowly adding and mixing in milk as needed to make a spreadable frosting. Ice the top and sides of the cake with the frosting. Refrigerate leftovers.

DOBASH CAKE

Steps:

• For the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line 2 - 8-inch round pans with parchment or waxed paper.
• Beat egg whites until frothy.
• Gradually beat in 1/2 cup of sugar.
• Beat egg whites until stiff.
• Sift dry ingredients together.
• Make a well in the flour mixture; add vegetable oil and half of the milk.
• Beat until well blended, medium speed.
• Add remaining milk and egg yolks.
• Beat until smooth.
• Fold in the egg whites.
• Pour into prepared pans.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes.
• Cool and slice each layer in half, horizontally, to make 4 layers.
• Frost with Dobash frosting.
• For the Frosting: Combine first four ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Sift the cocoa and cornstarch together to get the lumps out and combine with the remaining 1/2 cup water.
• Add to the boiling mixture. Bring to a boil again, cool slightly, and then frost. (Don't let it get too cool, or it will 'set' in the pot!) This is a nice frosting, it's very smooth, and once it sets, you can't even ding it up and make it ugly! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -.
