- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs

- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in boiling water until the batter is well combined. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat the softened butter in a bowl until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well.
- Add salt, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Beat on high speed until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Once the cakes are completely cool, spread frosting on the top of one cake layer, place the second layer on top, and frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Decorate as desired and enjoy your Taurus Szn Cake!
Notes
- Make sure the cakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
- You can add chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top for extra decoration.
- This cake can be made a day in advance and stored in an airtight container.
