You're going to love this triple layer chocolate cake with buttercream frosting! It's the perfect cake for any special occasion such as birthdays, holidays, family get-togethers, or office parties.
- Unsalted butter - Granulated sugar - Large eggs - Pure vanilla extract - All-purpose flour - Baking soda - Baking powder - Salt - Unsweet cocoa powder
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix the cocoa powder and boiling water in a medium bowl until well combined and no lumps remain.
Alternating between the two, slowly add dry ingredients and chocolate mixture to the bowl with the butter and sugar. Mix on low speed to incorporate ingredients.
Divide the cake batter evenly between the three 8-inch round cake pans & place in the pre-heated oven. Bake 22-28 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
