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

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

In the stand mixer (Kitchenaid), place the butter and beat slightly, then add the sugar and mix together, followed by the vanilla and melted chocolate, and of course the salt, mixing until the frosting is formed. Once the frosting is formed, 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.

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, and frost the top and sides, decorating as desired or leaving it as is (I topped the frosting with grated chocolate all around and decorated it with red berries).
