  • Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  • With the mixer running, gradually add the heavy cream or milk until you reach your desired frosting consistency. For a thicker frosting, use less cream; for a softer frosting, add more cream.
  • Continue to beat for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is light, fluffy, and spreadable.

    • 4. Assemble the Cake:

    1. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer of the cake on a serving platter.
    2. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top of the first layer. Be sure to cover the entire surface.
    3. Place the second layer of cake on top and press down gently to secure it in place.
    4. Spread the remaining frosting on top of the cake and around the sides. For a smooth finish, use a spatula or butter knife to smooth out the frosting.
    5. Optional: Garnish with chocolate shavings, sprinkles, or even a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.

    Tips for the Perfect Moist Chocolate Cake:

    • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, ensure your eggs, milk, and butter are at room temperature before mixing.
    • Don’t Overmix the Batter: Mix just until the ingredients are combined to prevent a dense cake.
    • Boiling Water or Coffee: Using hot water (or coffee) helps the cocoa powder dissolve and creates a tender crumb.
    • Make it a Double Layer Cake: For extra indulgence, consider making the frosting layer thicker or adding a filling between the layers.
