Ingredients
- FOR THE CAKE
4 c. all-purpose flour
2 1/4 c. Dutch-processed cocoa powder
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 c. strong black coffee
2 1/2 c. buttermilk
2 c. granulated sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
3 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 c. melted butter
1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
Cooking spray
- FOR THE FROSTING
2 1/4 c. cocoa powder
1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
3 c. butter, softened
7 1/2 c. powdered sugar
Pinch of kosher salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare three 8” round cake pans lined with parchment and spray with cooking spray.
- To make cake: Add flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, whisk together to combine.
- Whisk together melted butter, eggs, coffee, buttermilk, and vanilla in another large bowl.
- Gradually whisk dry ingredients into wet ingredients until smooth.
- Divide batter evenly among the cake pans. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks before removing from pans.
- To make frosting: Add butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until fluffy. Beat in heavy cream (adding more by the tablespoon until consistency is creamy but can hold peaks).
- Frost cake between layers, and then cover entire cake with frosting.
- Using your hands, cover entire cake with 3 cups chocolate chips, using more if needed.
- Melt remaining 1 cup chocolate chips in microwave. Drizzle over cake and serve.
