Indulge in the decadence of Devil's Food Cake with rich chocolate flavor and a velvety chocolate buttercream frosting. This heavenly dessert is perfect for any chocolate lover.
Ingredients: 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour. 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 cups granulated sugar. 2 large eggs. 1 cup buttermilk. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. 1 cup boiling water. For Chocolate Buttercream Frosting:. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 2 and 1/2 cups powdered sugar. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/4 cup whole milk. 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract. Pinch of salt.
Instructions: Preheat your oven to 350F 175C. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until creamy. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar and eggs mixture. Mix well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until the batter is smooth. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin, but that's okay. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. For the Chocolate Buttercream Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat until well combined and fluffy. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a layer of chocolate buttercream frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Decorate the cake as desired. Enjoy your Devil's Food Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting!
