   In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and mix with a whisk (this step eliminates the need for sifting).

   In a stand mixer (Kitchenaid) or by hand, cream the butter until smooth, then gradually add the sugar while mixing continuously until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes).

   Gradually add the milk and the flour mixture in three batches, starting and ending with the flour. Be careful not to overmix at this stage, just enough to combine the flour.

7. 7

   Pour the batter into a greased and lined 9-inch round baking pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes (test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it's done).

    In a stand mixer (Kitchenaid), place the butter and cream slightly, then add the sugar and mix together, followed by the vanilla and melted chocolate, and of course the salt. Mix until the frosting forms; when it does, let the mixer beat on medium speed for about three minutes, then increase the speed and let it mix for another minute or two until it becomes light and fluffy.

    If you find the mixture too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk.

    5 دقیقه

    Cut the cake in half with a serrated knife to create two equal layers, spread some frosting on the top of the bottom layer, then place the second layer on top. Frost the top and sides and decorate as desired, or leave it as is (I topped the frosting with grated chocolate all around and garnished it with red berries).
