Ingredients
For the Cake:

– 3 tbsp cocoa powder
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 cups white sugar
– 1/2 tsp salt
– 1/2 cup buttermilk
– 2 large eggs
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Frosting:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 6 tbsp milk
– 3 tbsp cocoa powder
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10×15-inch cake pan.
2. Prepare the Cake Batter
– In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, water, and cocoa powder over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract.
– Gradually add the melted butter mixture to the dry ingredients, followed by the buttermilk mixture. Stir until fully combined.
3. Bake the Cake
– Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
– Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan, about 5 minutes.
4. Make the Frosting
– While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat with the milk and cocoa powder, stirring until smooth.
– Remove from heat and mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually whisk in the confectioners’ sugar until the frosting is smooth and glossy.
5. Frost the Cake
– Spread the warm frosting evenly over the slightly cooled cake. Let the frosting set before slicing and serving.
Serving and Storage Tips
– Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful pairing.
– Storage: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
– Optional Variation: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the frosting for added texture and flavor.
