Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting
  • Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Beat the softened butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.

  9. Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder and chill for about an hour before serving.
