3. Make the Frosting
Beat the butter until fluffy, then gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Slowly mix in the cream or milk, vanilla, and salt until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.
4. Assemble Your Cake
Place one cake layer on your serving plate, spread a generous amount of frosting on top, then place the second layer and coat the entire cake with the remaining frosting. For an extra touch, garnish with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or fresh berries.
Tips for the Best Results
Use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate for the richest taste.
Don’t skip the boiling water—it really enhances the chocolate flavor.
Make sure the cake layers are completely cool before frosting to avoid melting.
For an extra moist cake, you can brush each layer lightly with simple syrup before frosting.
