For the Frosting -


While the cakes are cooling, you can tend to making your frosting.

Place softened butter into a large bowl and beat until fluffy. (see video)

Add vanilla, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar. - TO SEE HOW I MAKE MY OWN POWDERED SUGAR, WATCH VIDEO.

Add the heavy cream very slowly as you mix on medium. Mix until all ingredients are combined and the frosting is smooth. (see video)


If you find the frosting too thick for your liking, add more heavy cream very little at a time.

Frost the cake once it is completely cooled. Refrigerate uncovered to allow the frosting to set. After about a half hour, cover. Keep refrigerated. (see video)

Serve and enjoy. This recipe is tried and tested by my mom, a huge chocoholic. She approved! That's good enough for me!
