How to Make Chocolatier Classic Chocolate Cake And Creamy Chocolate Frosting

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cakes cool in the 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 medium bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
  9. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the milk, until smooth and creamy.
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with half of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
