Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 345°F. Prepare 3 round cake pans, 15 cm in diameter.
Step 2
Melt the butter (75 g) and let it cool. Sift the flour, cocoa powder (60 g), baking powder, and baking soda into a large bowl. Add the melted butter, milk, eggs, sugar, and coffee, and beat until smooth. Pour the batter into the pans and bake for 30–35 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes in the pans, then remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 3
For the frosting, melt the chocolate over a water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Whip the softened butter (275 g) until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and remaining cocoa powder, beating until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla sugar, and beat until well combined.
Step 4
Spread a little frosting on the first layer, smooth it out, cover with the next layer, and assemble the cake. Completely frost the cake on all sides and refrigerate for 2 hours.
