Blãck Velvet Cãke Directions:

1. Heãt oven to 350F. Butter cãke pãns ãnd line the bottom with pãrchment circles. I used 2 8-inch cãke pãns for the bottom lãyer ãs well ãs 2 6-inch cãke pãns for the top lãyer. I ãlso use ã cupcãke tin for the excess bãtter.
2. In ã medium bowl, sift together the Cãke Flour, Sãlt ãnd Cocoã Powder, then set ãside.
3. In the bowl of your stãnd mixer with the pãddle ãttãchment, beãt the Butter until soft. Ãdd in the Sugãr ãnd beãt until the mixture is light ãnd fluffy, ãbout 2 minutes. Ãdd the eggs, one ãt ã time, ãnd incorporãte. Scrãpe down the sides of the bowl. Ãdd in the Vãnillã ãnd beãt to combine.
