1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3.
Add eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth.

For the frosting, beat softened butter and cocoa powder until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat until fluffy and creamy.
