  8. Blend the Frosting Ingredients: Combine the melted cocoa mixture with powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  9. Frost and Cool the Cake: Pour the frosting over the warm cake and let it cool slightly before slicing into squares.

Notes

For an extra moist cake, avoid overbaking! You can make your own buttermilk with milk and vinegar. Try adding a teaspoon of instant coffee for a richer chocolate flavor.
