Best High Altitude Birthday Cake Recipes

HIGH-ALTITUDE CHOCOLATE CAKE

This moist chocolate cake never collapses, something I can't say for other cakes I've baked at high altitude! This cake has been tested at 9,000 feet and always turns out fluffy and moist! Frost this delicious layer cake with cream cheese vanilla bean frosting. Bailey's® buttercream or mocha frosting are also great choices.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Place cocoa into a small bowl, pour coffee over top, and stir to combine. Set aside to cool.
Combine sugar, yogurt, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add olive oil and mix to combine.
Combine flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder in a large bowl; whisk until combined with no lumps remaining. Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and beat until just mixed. Stir in the coffee mixture and pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the center looks slightly wet but springs back lightly when touched, 25 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack and let cool, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans. Sift the cake flour and baking powder into a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, up to 10 minutes. Mix in eggs one at a time, fully blending each one in before adding the next. Stir in vanilla. Stir in the flour and baking powder, alternating with the milk until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Tap the bottoms of the pans on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cakes in the pans set over a wire rack.

10 HIGH-ALTITUDE BAKING RECIPES THAT REALLY WORK

Basic High-Altitude Bread. This homemade yeast bread dough can be used for sandwich loaves, naan, or even as a pizza crust. A little extra fat — coconut oil i this case — keeps the dough nice and soft even after baking.
High Altitude Deep Dish Brownies. With slightly less flour than a typical brownie recipe, these fudgy treats have a higher percentage of wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla, melted butter) so they can stand up to that increased evaporation speed and stay mouthwateringly moist.
Ultimate High Altitude Chocolate Chip Cookies. "I've lived in Colorado 20 years and this is the only chocolate chip cookie recipe that still tastes like Toll House but works at our altitude," says Allrecipe home baker Brycie S. A higher egg-to-butter ratio and less baking soda does the trick.
High-Altitude Buttermilk Devil's Food Cake. Ideal for an 11-inch by 15-inch sheet cake or three-layer tower, this luxurious buttermilk cocoa cake calls for a higher-than-usual wet-to-dry ratio to account for the extra evaporation that occurs during baking.
High Altitude Meringue for Pie. Your pretty pies deserve better than a weepy, flat meringue recipe. Enter, this foolproof cornstarch-fortified egg white whip that stays super-fluffy and strong at any elevation.
