Decadent Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting

FOR THE CAKE:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, mix together sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt.
3. Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until just combined.
4. Pour in the hot coffee (the batter will seem a little runny, and small clumps are okay).
5. Pour batter evenly into two lined and greased cake pans.
6. Bake for 33 minutes.

FOR THE FROSTING:

1. Place heavy whipping cream and butter in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it just comes to a boil.
2. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate chips in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
3. Cover the frosting and refrigerate for 2 hours, mixing halfway through, OR place in the freezer for 1 hour to speed up thickening.
4. Once cooled and thickened, ice the cake and enjoy! 🎂🍫
