Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Add Boiling Water
Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
Bake the Cake
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
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting Preparation
Prepare the Frosting
In a large bowl, beat the unsalted butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
Add Cream and Vanilla
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the frosting mixture. Beat on high speed until fluffy and smooth.
Assembly and Decoration
Frost the Cake
Place one layer of the cooled cake on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
Decorate
Sprinkle chocolate shavings over the top of the cake and add fresh berries for decoration, if using.
Serve
Slice the cake and serve it to your guests. Enjoy your Sexy Cake!
