Replying to @Kat still working on my frosting techniques tbh 🍰 I Love Lucy’s Chocolate Cake recipe below #privatechef #cake #chocolatecakerecipe  Ingredients For the cake: * 2 cups white sugar * 2 eggs * 2 sticks butter (room temperature) * 1 cup sour milk (whisk 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar into 1 cup of milk, let it sit for a few minutes) * 2 1/2 cups flour * 1/2 cup cocoa powder * 2 tsp baking soda * 1 tsp salt For the chocolate ganache: * 1/2 cup heavy cream * 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips For the chocolate buttercream frosting: * 2 sticks butter * 3/4 tsp vanilla * 1/2 tsp salt * 1/3 cup cocoa powder * 3 tbsp cream * 3 1/4 cups powdered sugar Directions: Prepare the cake batter:     * Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).     * In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.     * Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.     * Gradually mix in the sour milk.     * In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.     * Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined. Bake the cake:     * Line 3 round cake pans with parchment paper and evenly divide the batter between them.     * Bake for 8-10 minutes, but check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cakes are done. If not, continue baking in 5-minute intervals until fully cooked.     * Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Prepare the ganache:     * While the cakes are baking, heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to boil, then immediately remove from heat.   *Gradually whisk in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly. Prepare the chocolate buttercream frosting:     * In a large bowl, whip the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.     * Add the cocoa powder and continue to whip until combined.     * Gradually add in 1 cup of powdered sugar followed by 1 tablespoon of cream and 3/4 teaspoon of vanilla. Repeat this process until all powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla are incorporated.     * Continue to whip the frosting until it reaches a smooth, fluffy consistency. Assemble the cake:     * Once the cakes have cooled, place the first layer on your cake stand or serving plate.     * Spread a layer of chocolate ganache over the top, followed by a layer of buttercream frosting.     * Add the second cake layer and repeat the process with the ganache and buttercream.     * Place the final cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream. You can use piping bags, a spatula, or a scraper to achieve the desired look.     * Decorate with chocolate shavings, raspberries, or sprinkles on top.
