Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the frosting:

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract.

6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

7. To make the frosting, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until combined. Spread the frosting between the cooled cakes and serve.
