Chocolate Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the hot water to the batter, mixing until smooth.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
-
Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
-
Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Enjoy!
