How To Make Cadbury Silk Cappuccino Cake At Home (Step-by-Step)

Step 1

Dissolve the instant coffee powder in the gently heated milk and set aside.

Step 2

Use a microwave to melt the Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk chocolate in short bursts while stirring until smooth.

Step 3

Combine the melted chocolate and coffee-milk combination with the sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gently whisk in the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt after sifting them in.

Step 5

Spoon the batter into two cake pans that are brushed with oil or butter. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 180°C (350°F), or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6

Make the coffee buttercream frosting while the cakes cool. If it becomes too soft to spread, chill it for a little while.

How To Make Smooth And Creamy Coffee Frosting

Dissolve coffee powder properly

Use a tablespoon of hot water to fully dissolve the instant coffee powder, then let it to cool.

Use softened butter

Beat the softened butter by itself until it becomes creamy and pale.

Add icing sugar gradually

Gradually add half a cup of icing sugar at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.

Chill frosting if too runny

Beat until the frosting is smooth after adding the dissolved coffee and a small amount of milk.

Beat until fluffy and creamy

If the frosting is too runny, refrigerate it for ten to fifteen minutes before beating it once more until it is creamy and fluffy.

Tips & Common Mistakes To Avoid

Use room-temperature ingredients

Before beginning, let all chilled components sit out for around 20 minutes because cold eggs and milk might cause the batter to combine unevenly.

Do not overmix batter

If you overmix the batter after adding the flour, the cake will be harder and denser rather than soft and mushy. Just till mixed, fold.

Dissolve the coffee completely

Make sure the coffee is completely dissolved before adding it to the cake mixture or icing, as any undissolved coffee granules may leave a gritty texture.

Cool cake before frosting

Let the layers cool completely before frosting a warm cake, as the buttercream will melt and slip off rather than hold its shape.
