Chocolate Milk Cake

— CLICK HERE TO PIN THIS RECIPE —

This past weekend, Brian and I hosted a watch party for the University of Arizona football game. We had such a blast watching the game, hanging out with friends, and eating tons of food! To keep things easy, Sloppy Joe’s were on the menu. We also served our Easy Beef Sliders along with a variety of chips, potato salad, baked beans, and of course – this Chocolate Milk Cake. 

Start with Quality Ingredients

I’m a big fan of Shamrock Farms and their products. I use their products on a daily basis. I love that they’re a local dairy committed to purity and freshness and they are equally committed to the well-being of their cows and pledge to NEVER treat them with growth hormone or rBST. They also continue to innovate in the Ready-To-Drink protein milk shakes and single-serve milk category. 

In this Chocolate Milk Cake recipe, I chose to use Shamrock Farms Chocolate Rockin’ Protein. It’s a healthy and delicious protein beverage made with real milk that is perfect for everyone, from elite athletes to casual exercisers, to help you look, feel, and perform your best. You can look for the signature green top in the refrigerated dairy case!

Shamrock Farms Rockin’ Protein

Shamrock Farms has expanded its longtime relationship with the University of Arizona through a new partnership with Arizona Athletics. Rockin’ Protein is now the official protein beverage of the Arizona Wildcats and Shamrock Farms is the official milk partner! 🥛

In addition to providing great-tasting Rockin’ Protein to student-athletes, the partnership includes installing Protein Performance Stations in the Football and Olympic Sport training facilities, on-site activations, as well as in-stadium signage, broadcast media, social media, and advertising at the University of Arizona. Program benefits of the university partnership reach beyond campus and it nourishes the community with Shamrock Farms donating up to 50,000 servings of pure, fresh milk to the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona. The donation DOUBLES last year’s program donation of 25,000 servings. 🎉🎉🎉

Join the challenge!

Shamrock Farms is also hosting a Protein Pushup Challenge at the upcoming Duel in the Desert game between UofA and ASU (November 24th). For every pushup done within 30 seconds, Shamrock Farms will donate additional servings of milk! Join the challenge and participate online by showing how many pushups you can do and share on social media using #ProteinPushupChallenge – Be sure to follow me on Instagram to see my kids participate in the challenge!

How do you make Chocolate Milk Cake?

You’ll need a few pantry items and a handful of refrigerated ingredients to make this Chocolate Milk Cake. 

Gather butter, sugar, vanilla, eggs, cake flour (see note if you don’t have this!), cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and Shamrock Farm Rockin’ Protein (Shamrock Farms Chocolate Milk works great, too!).

Start by creaming the butter and sugar. Add the vanilla, then eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately and mix until well combined. Pour into 3 greased and floured cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

What Can I Substitute for Cake Flour?

No cake flour? No problem! You can easily make a substitute for cake flour by placing 2 tablespoons of cornstarch into a 1-cup measuring cup. Fill the remainder of the cup with all-purpose flour. Sift into a bowl before use. You can adjust this ratio up and down for your recipe. If you only need 1/2 cup of cake flour, add only 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to your 1/2-cup measuring cup and fill the remainder of the measuring cup with all-purpose flour.

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 3 cups cake flour
• 2 Tbsp. cocoa powder
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder

• 5-1/3 cups powdered sugar
• 1-1/3 cups cocoa powder
• 2/3 cup Shamrock Farms Rockin' Protein - Chocolate
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions

For the cake:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour 3 round cake pans and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternately with the milk, mixing well. Divide the batter between the prepared pans.
4. Bake 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake tests clean.
5. Remove the cakes from the oven to a cooling rack. Allow to cool 10 minutes in the pan before turning the cakes out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

For the frosting:

1. Combine all frosting ingredients in a large bowl with a hand mixer until well combined. If the frosting is too thin, add a bit more powdered sugar. If the frosting is too thick, add a bit more Shamrock Farms Rockin' Protein.
2. Frost the cake.

Notes

• Refrigerate leftovers.
• If you don't have cake flour, don't fret! For each cup of cake flour, add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to a 1 cup measuring cup, then fill the remainder with all-purpose flour. Sift into a bowl before use.
