THE MOST AMAZING CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour or cocoa powder and tap out the excess. Alternatively, you can lightly grease the pans and line with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
• Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a low speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl so that everything gets mixed in.
• Divide batter evenly amongst the three prepared pans, about 3 cups of batter per pan. Tap the cake pans gently on the counter to allow any bubbles to rise to the top and escape.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then remove the cakes from the pan and place on the wire rack to cool completely.
• Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
• In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add in cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Beat until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk as necessary to make a spreadable consistency. The frosting should be very thick and will thicken even more once refrigerated.
• Use frosting to frost and assemble cake, or transfer to a piping bag for decorating. Once frosted, this cake should be refrigerated, but can remain at room temperature for up to 4 hours.

• Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes and then turn out onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
• Place roughly chopped chocolate into a mixing bowl. Pour heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
• Once cream comes to a simmer, remove it from the heat immediately and pour over chocolate. Let stand 5 minutes, until chocolate is completely melted.

• Bake for 45-50 minutes (watch carefully) cake is done when toothpick inserted into center comes out "clean".
• cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
• Remove foil lid from frosting and microwave carefully until frosting is melted and pourable (carefully remove can from microwave as the plastic may be hot).
• Turn out cake from pan onto cake plate, and drizzle frosting over the cake until it's coated well ( the "extras" that end up int the center of the cake are fought over in our house).
• Promptly place dome over frosted cake and DO NOT TOUCH until the condensation has cleared (approx 6 hours).
• This cake keeps well on the counter top, covered with the dome for about a week if you can keep it around that long!
• You can also lay a doily over the frosting after the condensation is gone and dust with powdered sugar, or add toasted coconut.
