Ingredients

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the Frosting:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Hennessy
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Topping:

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

Making the Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add in the buttermilk and vanilla and beat until combined.

Slowly add in the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before frosting.

Making the Frosting

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the Hennessy and vanilla and beat until combined. Add in the salt and beat until well combined.

Assembling the Cake

Place one of the cake layers on a cake stand or plate. Spread the frosting on top of the cake layer. Place the second layer of cake on top of the frosting. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake.

Making the Topping

In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling over the cake.
