  • 1 lb. unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened

SPRINKLE POCKY

  • 7.5 oz container of sprinkles
  • Piping Gel

Instructions
 

For the cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line two 8" cake pans with parchment.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix on low until dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  • On low speed add eggs, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla.
  • Once everything is combined beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • Divide batter evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake for 20-24 minutes, or until wooden toothpick comes out clean.
  • Place on a cooling rack to cool.

For the frosting:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar. Mix until combined and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla and milk. Mix until combined.
  • Stir in crushed Oreos.

For the sprinkle pocky:

  • Dump 3/4 of the sprinkles into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Use a small paint brush to cover chocolate covered part of the pocky stick with piping gel.
  • Place the stick into the 7.5 oz container of sprinkles. Put the top on and lightly shake the bottle until the stick is covered in sprinkles.
  • Take the stick out and set aside to dry.
  • Repeat with 20 - 25 sticks.

Assembly

  • Once cakes are cool, remove them from the pans and place one layer onto a cake plate. Using an offset spatula, spread a generous amount of frosting to the edge of the cake.
  • Turn the second layer upside down (so the bottom is face up) and gently place it on top of the first layer.
  • Take 1/2 cup of frosting and set it aside. Use the remaining frosting to frost the rest of the cake. Start with a generous amount on the top and work your way to the sides.
  • Place Pocky sticks around the cake.
  • Place remaining 1/2 cup of frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe large stars all over the top of the cake. Finish it off with a generous amount of sprinkles.
