8. To make the frosting, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with milk. Beat in the vanilla extract.
9. Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
10. Serve and enjoy!
