The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake is here. I call this my Matilda Cake because I swear it's just as good as the cake that Bruce Bogtrotter ate in Matilda. Moist, chocolatey perfection. This is the chocolate cake you've been dreaming of.

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess. -
Step 2:
Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined. -
Step 3:
Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes. -
Step 4:
Divide batter among the three pans. I found that it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly. -
Step 5:
Bake for 30-35 minutes in a 350 degree oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Step 6:
Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely. -
Step 7:
Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!
