Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Butter
• 2 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Hot water
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• For decoration Rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together, stirring until smooth. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then beat in the powdered sugar until the frosting thickens.
8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake.
9. Decorate with rainbow sprinkles.
10. Let the cake rest for 1 hour before serving to allow the frosting to set.
11. Enjoy your carvable, stackable chocolate cake!
