1. For the Cake, beat butter for 2 minutes. Add sugar and vanilla, continue beating with electric mixer. Add eggs and extra egg yolk, beating well after each addition. Combine the flours, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Add to mixing bowl, alternating with the whole milk. Beat 3 minutes after all is added.

2. Pour cake batter into two greased and floured 9inch cake pans. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. Remove and cool completely.

3. For the frosting, add milk chocolate morsels and butter into a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, mix and continue heating in 30 second increments (mine took one minutes, 30 seconds to melt completely).

4. In a large mixing bowl, combine sour cream, dark cocoa powder, salt and melted chocolate mixture. Add powdered sugar and milk, beat for 3-5 minutes until well blended and fluffy.

5. To assemble cake, lay one layer of cake on a cake platter. Spread frosting over the top. Add second layer of cake. Spread frosting over sides and top of cake.

6. Add sprinkles for decoration. ENJOY.

7. To make a crumb coating with the frosting, spread a very thin layer of frosting over the cake. Refrigerate for 10 minutes. Add final layer of frosting and enjoy.

8. To make cupcakes, line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Scoop batter into cupcakes until 2/3 full (makes 24 cupcakes). Bake for about 15-17 minutes. Cool before frosting.
