Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
2 cups chocolate frosting
1 1/2 cups M&M candies
Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder.
3️⃣ Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla to the flour mixture and mix together on medium speed until well combined.
4️⃣ Reduce speed and carefully add boiling water to the cake batter until well combined.
5️⃣ Distribute cake batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
6️⃣ Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
7️⃣ Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on your serving plate, spread a layer of chocolate frosting over it, then sprinkle a layer of M&M candies.
8️⃣ Place the second layer of cake on top, and then frost the outside of the cake with chocolate frosting.
9️⃣ Press the remaining M&M candies into the sides of the cake and sprinkle some on the top.
