Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 3 cups cake flour
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate milk
- ⅔ cup butter, softened (for frosting)
- 5 ⅓ cups powdered sugar
- 1 ⅓ cups cocoa powder (for frosting)
- ⅔ cup chocolate milk (for frosting)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour 3 round cake pans and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Alternately add the flour mixture and chocolate milk to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine softened butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate milk, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Adjust the consistency of the frosting by adding more powdered sugar if it's too thin or more milk if it's too thick.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, frost them with the prepared chocolate frosting.
