The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake
The 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.

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.
