Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of the cream cheese frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
-
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
