Instructions
For The Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease the pans, lining them with parchment paper.
- In a (medium) bowl, mix baking powder, flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a bowl, cream the butter until creamy. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Mix in the eggs and yolks one at a time, followed by the vanilla.
- In a cup, combine lemon juice and milk.
- Alternate adding flour and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Share the batter into the pans, avoiding overfilling.
- You should bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For The Frosting:
- Melt butter and stir in cocoa powder until combined.
- Start and end with powdered sugar, then add milk alternately.
- Beat until fluffy, then stir in vanilla.
- Add black food colouring and mix until combined to achieve the desired colour.
For The Candy Pants:
- Line the bottom of the (6-inch) cake pan with parchment paper. Draw a half-circle shape across the centre of the pan's bottom half.
- Flip the parchment paper over, placing the pencil markings on the bottom, and then lay it on the counter.
- Place red candy melts in a piping bag and microwave them. Squish and move the bag every 30 seconds to ensure even melting.
- Pipe the red candy melts onto the parchment paper following the drawn lines. If necessary, spread them out with a spatula.
- Let the candy melt for 15-20 minutes.
- Melt yellow candy melts in a piping bag in the microwave. Squish and move the bag every 30 seconds for even melting.
- For the buttons, pipe two oval shapes onto the red candy half circle. For 5-10 minutes, let them sit.
