Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• 2 eggs

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, ensuring even coverage for easy cake removal later.

2. Melt Chocolate: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate together over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined. Set aside to cool slightly.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the melted chocolate mixture, buttermilk, and eggs into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat on low speed until the ingredients are just combined. Then, increase the speed to high and beat for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is light and fluffy.

5. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans, spreading it out into smooth, even layers.

6. Bake: Place the cake pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

7. Cool: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before carefully transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

8. Prepare Frosting: While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a small saucepan, bring the cream just to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth. Let the frosting cool slightly until it begins to thicken.

9. Assemble Cake: Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread about 1/3 cup of the frosting evenly over the top of the layer. Carefully place the second layer on top, then frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.

10. Serve: Slice and serve your delicious Fudgy Chocolate Layer Cake, and enjoy every decadent bite!
