Moist Chocolate Cake with Perfect Frosting
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper. - Make the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Slowly stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin; this is normal and ensures the cake is moist.
- Bake the Cake:
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well.
- Stir in the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread an even layer of frosting on top.
- Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Decorate as desired and serve.
