Adapted from https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/come-home-to-mama-chocolate-cake/

Servings: 12

INGREDIENTS

1 package devil's food cake mix (regular size)

1 cup sour cream

1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate fudge pudding mix

4 large eggs, room temperature

1/3 cup avocado oil

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Frosting:

1 pound semisweet chocolate, chopped

6 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder

6 tablespoons boiling water

1-1/2 cups butter, softened

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

STEPS

1) In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into two greased and floured 8-in. baking pans.

2) Bake at 350° until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 38-43 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

3) For frosting, in a microwave, melt chocolate; stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature, 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, dissolve cocoa in boiling water; cool.

4) In a large bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add melted chocolate; beat on low speed until combined, scraping sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in cocoa mixture.

5) Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1-1/2 cups frosting. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake.
