Directions
- For the Fluffy Chocolate Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

- For the Chocolate Frosting:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
- Sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are incorporated into the butter.
- Add the milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- To Assemble the Cake:
- Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate.
- Spread a layer of chocolate frosting on top of the first cake layer.
- Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting.
