Preparation

Step 1

3 Layer Yellow Cake:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Prepare three 9 inch round cake pans with butter and flour or parchment paper.

Combine dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Beat butter with a paddle attachment in a mixer.

Gradually add in sugar.

In a separate bowl and hand mixer, beat egg yolks, vanilla, and lemon juice until pale yellow and frothy.

Add to butter.

Beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture then 1/2 the milk.

Blend until combined.

Beat in 1/3 of the flour and remaining milk and blend until combined.

Beat in remaining flour and mix only until combined.

Do not over beat.

Divide the batter into three pans and bake for 20 minutes.

Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes then cool in a cooling rack



Fudgy Brownies
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line two 9 inch round cake pans and spray with Pam with Flour.

Melt chocolate chips and butter in a medium pot over low heat.

Stir until all melted and smooth. remove from heat.

Add in both sugars and stir until combined.

Mixture will be grainy. Stir for 5 minutes allowing it to cool slightly.

Stir in eggs one at a time.

Mix in flour, vanilla and salt.

Pour into two cake pans and bake for 30 minutes.

Allow to cool in the pans. Use the foil to easily lift the brownies from the pans.


For the Frosting
Put everything, except the vanilla, into a medium bowl.

Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water to make a double boiler.

Do not let the bowl touch the water.

Place a spatchula into the pot to allow the steam to escape.

Cook mixture over medium-low heat and beat with a hand mixer on medium high speed.

It should take seven minutes to achieve stiff peaks.

Remove from heat and beat in vanilla.

Separate into three bowls with food coloring.

Whip in the colors being careful not to over whip the frosting.

It will turn to liquid and loose all the air bubbles if you over whip.

Frost immediately or cover with plastic wrap pressing onto the frosting to avoid drying out.



Cake Construction
Level one cake layer and place on a serving tray.

Trim the edges of the cake.

Place a brownie on top.

Add some Orange (special sauce), Green (lettuce), and Yellow (cheese) allowing some to drip over the edges.

Level a second cake and repeat with the brownies and frosting.

Top with remaining cake and sprinkle on some sesame seeds.
