Method
Cake Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Incorporate Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water to the batter. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.
Bake the Cakes
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Frosting Preparation
Make the Frosting
In a medium bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth and spreadable. Stir in vanilla extract.
Frost the Cakes
Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread frosting on top, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides.
Serve
Slice the torta de chocolate and serve. Enjoy your irresistible, moist chocolate cake!
