Ingredients
    For the Cake:
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
    • For the Frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons milk (as needed)
  • Pinch of salt
    • For Decoration:
  • Chocolate shavings or heart-shaped sprinkles (optional)
Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a heart-shaped cake pan, or use parchment paper.

    2. Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and combined.

    3. Add boiling water to the batter and mix carefully (the batter will be thin). Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

    4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

    5. Prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix in the vanilla and milk, adding more milk as necessary to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.

    6. Assemble the cake: Once the cake is fully cooled, frost the top and sides with the chocolate frosting. Decorate with chocolate shavings or heart-shaped sprinkles.

    7. Serve and enjoy!
