1️⃣ Prepare the Cake Batter
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper. 🕰️
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. 🥄
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until smooth. 🌟
- Slowly stir in the boiling water (the batter will be thin, but that’s okay – it makes the cake super moist!).
2️⃣ Bake to Perfection
- 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. ❄️
3️⃣ Make the Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until fluffy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well.
- Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.
4️⃣ Assemble the Cake
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
- Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides.
- Decorate as desired – sprinkles, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries work beautifully! 🍓✨
Pro Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Cake
