Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted and cooled)
• 2 cups Fresh mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line the bottoms of three 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer (or whisk by hand) until the batter is smooth and well mixed.

Step 4

Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin—this is normal. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Step 5

Bake the cake layers in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 6

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large bowl until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with heavy cream until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.

Step 8

Mix in the melted and cooled chocolate until the frosting is rich and creamy.

Step 9

Once the cake layers are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread an even layer of frosting on top, then add a handful of berries. Repeat with the second layer, adding frosting and berries.

Step 10

Place the final layer on top, then frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.

Step 11

Decorate the top of the cake with more fresh berries for garnish.

Step 12

Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
