Method / Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this ensures a moist, fudgy texture.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
Step 2: Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 3: Make the Fudge Frosting
- Melt butter over low heat.
- Stir in cocoa powder until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk, stirring until creamy.
- Mix in vanilla and salt. Adjust consistency with milk if necessary.
Step 4: Assemble the Cake
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting on top.
- Place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with remaining frosting.
- Decorate with chocolate shavings, berries, or nuts as desired.
