Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Prepare the batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a large baking sheet. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in one bowl. In another, beat eggs, melt butter in a saucepan, and add water and buttermilk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring gently.
  • Bake the cake: Pour the batter onto the greased sheet and spread evenly. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
  • Frosting: Soften butter, then frost the cake while it's still warm. Spread quickly with a spatula for even coverage. Let the cake cool completely before cutting.
