TOTAL TIME: 01 Hour 0 Min
INGREDIENTS:
For Cake:
- 4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 1/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 3 tsp baking soda
- 3 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cup melted butter
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 1/2 cup strong black coffee
- 2 1/2 cup buttermilk or milk
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
For The Frosting:
- 3 cup butter, softened
- 7 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 3/4 cup heavy cream (plus more if necessary)
- 4 cup semisweet chocolate chips, divided
DIRECTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line three 8” round cake pans with parchment and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Make cake: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt just until combined. In another large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, coffee, buttermilk, and vanilla. Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until smooth.
- Divide batter evenly among the cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks before removing from pans.
- Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Beat in heavy cream (adding more by the tablespoon until consistency is creamy but can hold peaks).
- Frost cake between layers, and then cover the entire cake with frosting. Using your hands, cover the entire cake with 3 cups chocolate chips, using more if needed. In the microwave, melt the remaining chocolate chips, then drizzle melted chocolate over cake and serve.
