Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

- After 10 minutes, carefully remove the cakes from the pans and allow them to cool completely on the cooling rack.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder to the butter, mixing on low speed until combined.
- Add the milk (or heavy cream) and pure vanilla extract to the mixture, and beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of frosting on top.
- Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting, creating a two-layer cake.Frost the sides and top of the cake with the remaining frosting, using a spatula to create a rustic and imperfect finish.
