How to Make Midnight Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 4 large eggs until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes with an electric mixer).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, frost with your favorite white frosting.
