Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix together until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and stir until combined. Slowly add the boiling water, stirring constantly. The batter will be thin. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans, and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before adding frosting.
For the frosting, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. Once melted, remove from the heat and let cool slightly. In a large bowl, combine the melted chocolate with 2 cups of softened butter. Beat until light and fluffy. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth. Spread the frosting between the two layers and on the top and sides of the cake. Enjoy!
