How To Make This Chocolate Cake
1. Let’s start by making the three layers of the chocolate cake.. Butter 3 baking pans and add cocoa powder on all three.. Spread it by rotating the pan left to right and so on… Put enough cocoa powder to make a thin layer that covers the bottom of the pan. Set the baking pans aside for later.
2. In a mixing bowl add 3 cups of flour, 3 cups of granulated sugar, 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 tsp of salt and mix it with a whisk..
3. Then add 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk, 1 1/2 cups of warm water and start mixing it with a hand held mixer until the chocolate batter forms into a creamy chocolate texture.
4. Once the chocolate batter is nice and creamy scoop it with a ladle or large spoon and place it in the baking pans with the cocoa powder. You should have enough for three layers.
5. Bake all 3 layers at (350 degrees F) for 35 minutes. While the chocolate layers are baking you can start to prepare the chocolate frosting cream..
6. Add 8oz of cream cheese in a mixing bowl, 1 1/2 cups of soft butter and mix with a hand held mixer.. Add 1 1/2 cups of unsweetened cocoa and mix again. Then add about 1/4 cup of milk and continue mixing.. Finally add 7 to 8 cups of powdered sugar and mix with a spatula or spoon until it forms into a thick frost like cream.
7. After 35 minutes take out the chocolate layers from the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes on a clean surface. Now you can start layering the chocolate cake.
8. Add the first layer of chocolate frosting.
9. Then the second and third layer.. With a spatula cover the whole cake with the rest of the cream frosting.. Congratulations! You just made a 3 layer chocolate cake that your family will love and enjoy.
