Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced) and grease three 20cm round cake pans, lining them with baking paper.
  • Beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla with electric beaters in a large bowl until light and creamy. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the flour, milk, and yogurt until smooth. Divide the batter equally among three bowls.
  • 1. Divide the batter evenly into 3 prepared pans. Smooth the surface of each. Mix raspberry baking paste and a few drops of pink food coloring into one portion of batter. Pour and smooth. Combine cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons of milk with the last portion of batter. Pour and smooth into the last pan.
  • Bake cakes for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks.
  • Using electric beaters, whip butter and vanilla in a bowl until light and fluffy. Slowly add icing sugar and milk in alternating batches, continuing to beat until mixture is smooth and creamy.
  • - Place the chocolate cake on a serving plate and top with a layer of buttercream. - Add the pink cake on top, followed by another layer of buttercream. - Finish with the vanilla cake and cover the entire cake with the remaining buttercream. - Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Combine chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool for a bit. Drizzle over the cake and spread evenly with a palette knife, letting it cascade down the sides. Finish by topping the cake with KitKat and M&M’s for decoration.
