Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lightly grease and flour two 8” cake pans. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, whisk together the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt
- Add the milk, canola oil, and vanilla into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Mix until combined.
- Fold in the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate them too much.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes, or until they have cooled enough to handle safely. Then invert the pans to remove the cakes. Set the cakes on a cooling rack to cool completely.
For the Frosting:
- In a small bowl combine the two tablespoons of cornstarch with one tablespoon of water. Mix together to form a slurrry. Set aside.
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the butter, sugar, evaporated milk, and egg yolks. Whisk together gently. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture starts to boil.
- Add the cornstarch slurry and simmer, whisking constantly, until frosting is thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Allow the frosting to cool until it is a spreadable consistency. You can speed up this process by chilling the frosting in the fridge. It may take up to two hours to cool well enough.
Assemble the Cake:
- Use a serrated knife to trim the rounded top from one cake layer. This will help the next layer sit flat on top. Place this first cake layer on a serving plate.
- Cover the top of the first cake in a thick layer of frosting.
- Top with the second cake layer.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Sprinkle with chopped macadamia nuts.
- Chill for 2 hours before slicing and serving.
