Make two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them and preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
A large mixing bowl should be used to combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Butter, eggs, vanilla essence, and milk should be added to the dry ingredients and mixed thoroughly.
As soon as you have divided the batter evenly between the cake pans, smooth the tops of the pans.
It takes 35-40 minutes to bake the cakes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
After cooling for 10 minutes in the pans, transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing is made by melting chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan.
Whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in the pan after it has been taken off the heat.
Place the first cake layer on top of the frosting and sprinkle with the second cake layer.
Spread the remaining frosting on the cake's top and sides.
