Two Layer Chocolate Cake

0 Preheat your oven to 350F degrees. 
2 In a large mixing bowl add in all the wet ingredients for the cake. Mix until incorporated. 
3 In a separate medium bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet & mix together with a whisk until incorporated.
1 Pour the batter into 2 greased & lined 8in cake pans. (You can use 9in too you’ll just cook for less time).
4 Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the center comes out clean with a toothpick.
5 Remove from the cake pans and cool on a wire baking rack.
6 While the cake is cooling, go ahead and make the icing. To make the icing, in a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, cream the butter. 
7 Next, add in the cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla. Mix. Add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and mix until incorporated. If you want the icing a little thinner, add an additional tbsp of milk until you reach the consistency you like. 
8 Once the cakes are cooled, put your first layer of cake down and add icing to the middle. Then top with the second layer of cake.
9 Add icing to the top of the cake and around the sides. Slice and enjoy!
