Here the batter is ready and the process moves to the next step which is baking the cake. This is where the kitchen is all awesome and hazy with the scent of chocolate.

1. Grease the Pans: Replace the water with butter or cooking spray and make two 9-inch round baking pans. Wipe with a piece of damp cloth then dust them lightly with flour so that they will not stick together.
2. Pour the Batter: Multiply the batter and then spoon half of it into each pan.
3. Bake: Put the pans into the hot oven and bake for about 30-35min. To see if it’s done, you have to put a toothpick in the middle; it doesn’t stick to it.
4. Cool: After baking let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them and placing them on a wire rack to cool.

The layers of the cake should be moist and when you cut it through, it should release an aroma of the chocolate that has been used.

• Cocoa powder (⅔ cup)
• Powdered sugar (3 cups)
• Milk (⅓ cup)
• Vanilla extract (1 tsp)

A list of procedures how to make the frosting.

1. Cream the Butter: Take the butter out of the fridge and allow it to reach room temperature and then put it in a large bowl and beat it until the butter is smooth.
2. Add Cocoa: Slowly mix in the cocoa powder until all has been incorporated within the batter.
3. Mix in Sugar and Milk: Add the powdered sugar into the butter mixture and then followed by the addition of the milk. Butter: beat until mixture is smooth and creamy on medium speed.
4. Add Vanilla: Last of all, put in the vanilla extract and beat the ingredients until they are well combined.

Frosting that is applied should be smooth and have a rich chestnut like flavor which should not be overly sweet for the cake.

The best part comes next that is to decorate or assemble the cake. This is where all the effort that you put in your ‘V’ model comes into play.

2. Apply the Frosting: First, take one cake layer then arrange it on a plate or cake stand. Use as much frosting to cover on top as could be possible. Once again put the second layer on top and spread the frosting on the surface of the cake and the sides of the cake as well.
3. Decorate: As a last note, you may add some chocolate chips, berries, or jelly/gel sprinkles on the cake.
