Ingredients

24 servings

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15-inch cake pan.
  • Prepare the cake: Combine butter, water, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter has melted and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile, mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
  • Add melted butter mixture to flour mixture, then add buttermilk-egg mixture and beat until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
  • While the cake bakes, make the frosting: Combine butter, milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter melts, then stir in powdered sugar.
  • Spread frosting over the warm cake.
