Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• ³⁄₄ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Hot water
• 4 ounce Semi-sweet chocolate, melted
• ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₄ cup Powdered sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large 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.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix in the hot water until well combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. For the frosting, beat the melted chocolate, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
9. Let the cake rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
10. Enjoy!
