INGREDIENTS

FOR THE CAKE
4 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. sugar
1 c. brown sugar
2 1/4 c. Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
pinch of kosher salt
1 1/2 c. melted butter
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 1/2 c. strong black coffee
2 1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
FOR THE FROSTING
3 c. butter, softened
7 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 1/4 c. cocoa powder
1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
pinch of kosher salt
3/4 c. heavy cream (plus more if necessary)
4 c. semisweet chocolate chips, divided

DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Line three 8” round cake pans with parchment and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add the melted butter, eggs, coffee, buttermilk and vanilla and whisk until smooth.

3. Divide batter evenly among the cake pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool completely on wire racks before removing from pans.

4. Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Beat in heavy cream (adding more by the tablespoon until consistency is creamy but can hold peaks).

5. Frost cake between layers, and then cover the entire cake with frosting. Using your hands, cover the entire cake with 3 cups chocolate chips, using more if needed. In the microwave, melt the remaining cup of chocolate chips, then drizzle melted chocolate over cake and serve.
