For an extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder. Ensure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal creaming. Do not overbake the cake, as it will dry out. Check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested baking time. If you prefer a thicker icing, boil it for a minute or two longer. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder. Set aside. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1.5 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)
04
StepBeat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. (3 minutes)
05
StepIn a small bowl, combine 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. (1 minute)
06
StepGradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix. (5 minutes)
07
StepPour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (45 minutes)
09
StepWhile the cake is baking, prepare the icing. In a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of buttermilk, 2 cups of sugar, and 0.5 cup of butter. (2 minutes)
10
StepBring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Once boiling, continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. (7 minutes)
11
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. (1 minute)
12
StepAs soon as the cake is removed from the oven, slowly and evenly pour the hot icing over the entire surface. The cake will absorb the icing as it cools. (3 minutes)
13
StepLet the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. (60 minutes)
