For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water

For the frosting:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the decoration:

- Fresh rose petals
- Edible gold leaf
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the pans.
To make the frosting, beat the softened butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, alternating with the heavy cream and vanilla extract, until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Use a piping bag fitted with a petal tip to pipe rose petals onto the top of the cake. Garnish with fresh rose petals and edible gold leaf.
