Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cups buttermilk
- 1 cups brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, then set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the eggs, buttermilk, coffee, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Using a handheld or stand mixer, mix on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the batter becomes smooth and well-combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
Whisk the butter into the melted chocolate mixture until fully incorporated. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, gradually sift and beat in the powdered sugar until the frosting thickens and becomes spreadable.
Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of frosting on top.
Add the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake, smoothing the sides and top as desired.
Chill the cake for 20 minutes to set the frosting before serving. Slice and enjoy your spellbinding Black Magic Cake with Voodoo Frosting!
