Whether it’s your own family or close friends, a joint birthday cake is a fun way to bring everyone together to celebrate! Here’s a delicious cake recipe for a joint birthday celebration for a male and female.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sour cream.
- Gradually blend in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the topping, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream and almond extract, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the topping over the cake. Garnish with fresh fruit, if desired.
And there you have it – a delicious joint birthday cake that’s sure to please both the male and female birthday celebrants! Enjoy!
