Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 35
  2. To prepare cake, combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl; let stand 1 minute. Stir until smooth; set aside.
  3. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
  4. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl, stirring with a whisk.
  5. Place granulated sugar, buttermilk, and oil in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at low speed until blended.
  6. Add chocolate mixture; beat at low speed 1 minute.
  7. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed just until combined.
  8. Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in a medium bowl. Using clean, dry beaters, beat egg white mixture with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form (do not overbeat). Gently stir one-third of egg white mixture into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining egg white mixture. Divide the batter evenly between 2 (8-inch) round metal cake pans coated with baking spray.

  13. Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with 1 cup frosting, leaving a 1/2-inch border around edge. Top with remaining cake layer.
  14. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.
