Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
-
Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
-
Reduce the speed to low and carefully add the hot water to the batter. Mix until combined; the batter will be thin.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
For the frosting, in a large bowl, beat the butter until creamy.
-
Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until smooth and creamy.
-
Add the salt, vanilla extract, and heavy cream, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
-
Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost the top of one cake layer, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
-
Serve slices of this Ultra Chocolate Cake with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate chocolate indulgence!
