Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar. 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. 1 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1 tsp salt. 2 eggs. 1 cup buttermilk. 1/2 cup vegetable oil. 2 tsp vanilla extract. 1 cup boiling water. 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature. 2 cups powdered sugar. 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder. 1/2 cup whole milk. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 tsp salt.
Instructions: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit 175 degrees Celsius and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a sizable mixing bowl. To the dry ingredients, add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Blend until thoroughly blended. After adding the boiling water, stir the batter until it becomes smooth. It's okay that it will be thin. Allocate the mixture equally among the ready pans and bake for thirty to thirty-five minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. After 10 minutes of cooling in the pans, take the cakes out and allow them to cool fully on a wire rack. Make the Salted Chocolate German Buttercream while the cakes cool. Creamy unsalted butter should be beaten in a sizable mixing basin. After adding the cocoa powder and powdered sugar, sift in the milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy and smooth frosting is achieved. Cover one of the cakes with a layer of Salted Chocolate German Buttercream after they have cooled completely. After putting the second cake on top, use the leftover buttercream to frost the entire cake. After decorating the cake as you like, serve it. Savor this Exceptionally Rich Chocolate Cake!
