How to Make Black Magic Cake With Voodoo Frosting

  1. **Cake:**
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup boiling water, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. The batter will be thin.
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. **Frosting:**
  11. While cakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup hot fudge topping and 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules.
  12. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until coffee granules are dissolved.
  13. Remove from heat and let cool for 15 minutes.
  14. In a separate bowl, beat 4 cups whipped topping until soft peaks form.
  15. Gently fold 2 cups of the whipped topping into the cooled fudge mixture.
  16. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set slightly.
  17. Once cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate.
  18. Spread 1 cup of the fudge whipped topping mixture over the first layer.
  19. Top with the second cake layer.
  20. Add the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping to the remaining fudge mixture and mix well.
  21. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting mixture.
  22. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
