Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- Red and blue food coloring
- Fondant (black, red, blue)
- Edible black marker (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 6-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth. Add milk as needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top.
- Apply a thin layer of frosting around the sides and top of the cake to create a crumb coat. Chill for about 30 minutes. Once chilled, apply a final layer of frosting.
- Roll out the black fondant to cover the entire cake smoothly. Use the red and blue fondant to create the Joy-Con controllers and attach them to the sides of the cake. You can also use the edible black marker to add buttons and details to the controllers.
