How to Make Morty's Amazing Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat 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. Add the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, mixing 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 large 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 a generous amount of frosting.
  11. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set.
