Ingredients

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

4 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Toasted walnuts, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter and line them with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until combined. Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the frosting: In a large bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar and cocoa powder. Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract and whisk until combined. The frosting should be thick and spreadable. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk. If it’s too thin, add a little more confectioners’ sugar.

To assemble the cake: Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate. Spread the frosting on top, then place the second cake layer on top. Spread the remaining frosting on top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle with toasted walnuts, if desired.
