Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line an 8 inch springform with parchment paper or lightly grease with baking spray. Set aside
Step 2
Chocolate Cake
Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the buttermilk.
Step 3
Stir in the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder.
In the end add the melted chocolate to the cake batter and pour it into the prepared baking pan.
Step 4
Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Leave to cool slightly before removing from the pan and completely before cutting the layers.
Step 5
Chocolate Frosting
In a small sauce pan add the heavy cream and bring to a boil.Add the chocolate and stir until melted. Remove from the heat.
Step 6
Cover and let chill 1 hour at room temperature and about 4 hours in the fridge until set and firm.
Whisk the mixture until light and fluffy. You you want it creamier, just whisk for a minute. If you'd like more of a whipped chocolate frosting, whisk until soft peaks form.
Step 7
Using 2/3 of the chocolate frosting sandwich the cake layers.
Step 8
With the remaining chocolate frosting cover the sides and the top of the cake.
Step 9
Decorate with chocolate shavings.
Let the cake rest for few hours, or better overnight, before slicing it.
