How to Make Old Fashioned Chocolate Cake With Glossy Chocolate Icing
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the boiling water to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Stir in the oil and vanilla extract.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and sugar. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
- 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.
