Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
-
Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth.
-
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of cream cheese frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining cream cheese frosting.
