How to Make This Untitled Pin Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
4. Carefully add boiling water to the batter and mix until well combined. The batter will be thin.
5. Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pans.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy.
9. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with milk, and beat until smooth.
10. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
11. Once cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one cake layer with frosting, top it with the other cake layer and then frost the whole cake.
12. Cut, serve, and enjoy! For another chocolate fix, try these Sticky Garlic Chicken Noodles.

How to Serve This Untitled Pin Recipe

This Untitled Pin chocolate cake is perfect all on its own, fresh from the kitchen! But, try adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to elevate the experience. Furthermore, a dusting of cocoa powder or a few fresh berries on top can make it look even more tempting.

For a truly indulgent dessert, pair it with a warm cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk. LOOKS YUMMY! on a nicely decorated dessert plate, too!

How to Store This Untitled Pin Recipe

To keep your Untitled Pin chocolate cake fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can refrigerate it for up to a week; just bring it to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture. For longer storage, you can freeze slices individually wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before enjoying.

Tips to Make This Untitled Pin Recipe

• Ingredient Swap: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can easily make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes, and it’s ready to use!
• Success Tip: Make sure your butter is properly softened for the frosting to avoid any lumps.
• Common Mistake: Don't overbake the cake! Overbaking will result in a dry sponge. Keep an eye and test for doneness using a wooden skewer.
• Pro Tip: For an extra moist cake, brush each layer with simple syrup before frosting.

Helpful Notes for This Untitled Pin Recipe

For the cocoa powder, I recommend using a high quality Dutched cocoa for a richer depth of flavor. Also, to ensure a smooth and lump-free frosting, sift your powdered sugar before using it. Remember, the boiling water in the cake batter helps to bloom the cocoa, enhancing the chocolate flavor.

Variation of This Untitled Pin Recipe

For a seasonal twist, consider adding pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to the cake batter during the fall. In the summer, a light lemon buttercream would wonderfully complement the chocolate. Another LOOKS YUMMY!, fun version is chocolate cupcakes. You could bake the batter in muffin tins instead of cake pans to transform it into individual cupcakes.
