1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool completely on wire racks.
While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well after each addition.
Add in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Once the cakes are cool, frost one cake layer, place the second cake layer on top, and frost the entire cake.
