Delicious Most Chocolate Cake Recipe

I have been searching for a great chocolate cake recipe for years. I have found it. My search has ended. I now have THE recipe. If you have ever seen the movie Matilda you will surely remember the scene where the boy is forced to eat the most delicious looking chocolate cake ever. I feel just like that boy when I eat this cake. It is my Matilda chocolate cake for sure.

He Most Amazing Chocolate Cake is here. I call this my Matilda Cake because I swear it's just as good as the cake that Bruce Bogtrotter ate in Matilda. Moist, chocolatey perfection. This is the chocolate cake you've been dreaming of.

Prep Time: 10 Mins
Cook Time: 35 Mins
Total Time: 45 Mins


Ingredients
The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake
                   butter and flour for coating and dusting the cake pan
                   3 cups all-purpose flour
                   3 cups granulated sugar
                   1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
                   1 tablespoon baking soda
                   1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
                   1 1/2 teaspoons salt
                   4 large eggs
                   1 1/2 cups buttermilk
                   1 1/2 cups warm water
                   1/2 cup vegetable oil
                   2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
                   1 1/2 cups butter softened
                   8 oz cream cheese softened
                   1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
                   3 teaspoons vanilla extract
                   7-8 cups powdered sugar
                   about 1/4 cup milk as needed

Instructions
The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake
1.             Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
2.         Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.
3.         Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.
4.             Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.
5.         Bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6.            Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.
7.              Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!

Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
1.             In a large bowl, beat together butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for best results
2.              Add in cocoa powder and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
3.       Beat in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Add milk as necessary to make a spreadable consistency. The frosting should be very thick and will thicken even more if refrigerated.
