Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whole milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered sugar
• ¹⁄₂ cup Heavy cream
• ¹⁄₂ cup Dark chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated 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 butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a small saucepan, heat the powdered sugar and heavy cream over low heat until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in the dark chocolate until melted and smooth.
8. Pour the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
9. Let the glaze set for at least 1 hour before serving.
10. Slice and enjoy!
