Yellow Cake for Two is just right for a small crowd. Soft, buttery and lathered with a decadent chocolate buttercream frosting. Don’t forget the sprinkles!

I recently purchased a small 6 inch cake pan. Since, my family is pretty large ( 7 of us total ), making an actual cake in it seemed like a silly idea.

So, I attempted several times to make Instant Pot (pressure cooker) brownies in the pan instead. They were a disaster!

I’ll keep trying to make the brownies, but, for now, to get use of the pan, I did decide to make a cake in it. The reason- even though every one in my family may not get a slice, well, it’s still cake and cake is always a good thing. 😉

This Yellow Cake for Two is great for a small group/party or if you are trying to practice a little portion control for your sweet tooth.

Your Supply List:

• 6 inch cake pan + non sticking cooking spray or butter to grease
• Electric mixer + mixing bowl
• Medium size bowl + whisk
• Measuring cups/spoons
• Spatula or utensil for frosting

Just a few notes:

• If you wish to frost with vanilla buttercream, check out this recipe.

• Be sure your butter is softened for the cake and frosting. This will give both their fluffy/soft texture. If you want to speed up your softening: Cut the butter into chunks and sit it close to the warm stove.

• Be sure to cool your cake completely before frosting and store any leftovers in your refrigerator.

• Your frosting will be a bit soft when first made, but, will firm up as it sets.

• If you don’t have any buttermilk, stir a teaspoon of vinegar into the 1/3 cup and let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to batter.

Enjoy-
