Things To Grab
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with non-stick cooking spray on bottom and coat with flour; set aside.
- Whisk baking soda into buttermilk; allow to sit a few minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cocoa and sugar. Add butter, beating with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla, stir well. Add half the flour; stir. Add half the buttermilk mixture, stir. Repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk mixture. Batter will be very thick. Pour in boiling water and stir by hand until mixture is smooth.
- Divide batter among prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pans and allow cakes to cool completely. Frost cooled cakes with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting and decorate with shards of chocolate, if desired.
- To make chocolate buttercream frosting, in a microwave-safe bowl melt chocolate in the microwave on HIGH power for 1 minute. Stir mixture until smooth; allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl sift together powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Beat in melted butter until smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in cooled melted chocolate and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
