Ingredients

For Cake:

1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar

¾ cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 cup (240ml) whole milk

½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil or melted butter

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1 cup, 240ml, boiling water, or hot coffee for a stronger flavour

For the Frosting:

1 cup, 230g, unsalted butter, soft

3 ½ cups, 440g, powdered sugar

½ cup, 40g, unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon of salt

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

¼ cup, 60ml, heavy cream or milk, until desired consistency reached

Instructions:

 For the Cake:

1. Preheat Oven: The oven preheats to a temperature of 350°F or 175°C. Lightly grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt mix in a large bowl until well combined.

3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry mixture. Beat on medium until smooth, about 2 minutes.

4. Add Boiling Water: Slowly stir in boiling water-or hot coffee-until batter is well combined. Batter will be thin-this is normal.

5. Bake: Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Frosting:

1. Beat Butter: Beat the softened butter at medium speed until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

2. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Beat on low until combined.

3. Add Vanilla & Cream: Beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat on high for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. If too thick, add a little more cream. If too thin, add more powdered sugar.

Assemble the Cake:

1. Frost: When the cakes are completely cool, place one layer in a serving plate. Spread frosting on top. Place the second layer of cake on top and frost the whole cake.

2. Decorate: Any other decorations you want-add chocolate shavings or sprinkles.

3. Serve: Slice and enjoy your homemade chocolate cake!!
