Steps:
- Grease and line three 8-inch (20 cm) cake tins with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large glass measuring cup, combine the stout, vanilla, and espresso powder. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally to ensure all the ingredients are being evenly creamed together.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the mayonnaise and beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Preheat oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
- Alternate adding the prepared dry and wet ingredients to the batter. Starting with about ⅓ of the dry ingredients, beat until incorporated. Then add ⅓ of the liquid ingredients, mixing until the batter comes together. Continue until all the wet and dry ingredients have been incorporated.
- Using a rubber scraper, fold the dark chocolate chunks into the batter.
- Distribute the batter evenly between the 3 prepared cake tins.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Place the cakes on a cooling rack and leave to cool for about 10-15 minutes, until the outside of the pan is cool enough to touch.
- Once the cakes have cooled, loosen the edges using a butter knife. Then place a large plate over the tin and invert to release the cake from the pan. Remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake and slide the cake back onto the cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat for the remaining two layers.
- While your cakes are cooling, prepare the buttercream.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and vanilla.
- Gradually add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk, continuously beating until all the ingredients have been incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Frost and decorate to your liking.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
- Open the cans of sweet roll dough and unroll the dough from each can into 3 strands. Working on a clean surface, place 3 dough strands side by side and gather them together to make one large strand. Fold this in half, and roll slightly to make a fat log. Repeat steps with the remaining dough. Place each log on the prepared baking sheet and shape to make a ring, overlapping the ends and pinching them together to make a complete circle. Pat the dough into shape as necessary to make the ring even in size all the way around. Cover loosely with foil.
- Bake in preheated oven until firm to the touch and golden brown, 50 to 60 minutes. Check often for doneness so the ring doesn't overbake. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
- Place the cake ring on a serving plate. Cut a slit along the inside of the ring and insert a small plastic baby, pushing it far enough into the cake to be hidden from view.
- Divide the frosting evenly between 4 bowls. Stir 1 tablespoon of milk into each bowl to thin the frosting. Use the frosting in one bowl to drizzle over the cooled cake. To the remaining three bowls of frosting, stir yellow food coloring into one and green into another. Stir the red and blue food colorings together with the frosting in a third bowl to make purple frosting. Drizzle the cake with yellow, green, and purple frostings in any desired pattern. Dust the cake with multi-colored sprinkles and decorate with beads, additional plastic babies, curly ribbon, and other festive trinkets.

KING CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY
King cake is typically enjoyed during Carnival, beginning with the Epiphany on January 6th and continuing until Fat Tuesday. A small plastic baby is often hidden inside the cake, and the person who receives the slice with the baby is responsible for bringing next year's cake. Once you serve it, make sure to alert your guests to the choking hazard!

Steps:
- Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the melted butter, milk, eggs, flour, granulated sugar, yeast, salt, lemon zest, and nutmeg. Mix on medium-low speed for 7-8 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the dough is silky smooth.
- Shape the dough into a ball. Grease a medium bowl with nonstick spray, transfer the dough to the bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until about 1½ times its original size.
- While the dough is rising, make the filling: In a separate medium bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.
- Make the egg wash: In a small bowl, beat together the egg and milk with a fork until thoroughly combined.
- Assemble the king cake: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Lightly flour the top and roll out to a 10 x 22-inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the rectangle lengthwise into 3 even strips.
- Use a small offset or silicone spatula to spread the filling evenly over half of the long side of each strip, leaving the other half of each strip uncovered. Brush the uncovered dough lightly with the egg wash. Starting from the side with the filling, roll each strip into a log and position seam-side down. Press one end of each of the logs together, then braid the logs into a single long strand. Bring the ends of the braid together to make a ring, pressing together to secure. Carefully transfer the ring to the prepared baking sheet, making sure to maintain the large opening in the center. Cover with plastic wrap and let proof in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, until the dough is pillowy to the touch.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush the ring with egg wash. Bake for 30-32 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Decorate the cake: Carefully flip the cake upside down and use a sharp knife to create a small slit in the bottom. Hide the plastic baby in the slit. Flip the cake right-side up.
- Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, the lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Add the remaining milk as needed to create a thick, yet pourable glaze.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the cake. While the glaze is still wet, decorate with alternating stripes of green, yellow, and purple sparkling sugar. Let the icing set for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C). Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Stir brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon together in a small bowl until smooth.
- Remove crescent roll dough from the can and separate into 4 rectangles. Press the seams together tightly to seal the dough.
- Spread butter mixture evenly over each rectangle, not going all the way to the edges. Start at the bottom of each long edge and roll tightly into a 10-inch log, sealing any open seams. Bring the ends of each roll together to form an oval shape, making sure you press tightly to seal so the filling doesn't ooze out in the air fryer and burn.
- Place one or two at a time in the prepared air fryer basket without overcrowding.
- Air-fry in the preheated air fryer for 5 minutes per batch. Remove to a wire rack and cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk powdered sugar and milk together until smooth. Divide mixture among 3 bowls. Add food coloring to each bowl.
- Drizzle icing over each cooled cake and decorate with sugar or sprinkles. Let icing dry before serving, about 10 minutes.
