1

Gather the chocolatey ingredients

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of granulated sugar, 3/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

2

Add the wet ingredients and mix

To the dry ingredient mixture, add 1 cup of buttermilk, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Mix everything together until the batter is smooth and well combined. Don't worry if the batter looks a little thick - it's going to be super moist!

3

Bake the cake to perfection

Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before moving on to the next step.

4

Make the heavenly Mole sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter over low heat. Gradually add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1/3 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and shiny. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

5

Pour on the chocolatey goodness

Once the cake has cooled, pour the heavenly Mole sauce over the top, ensuring it covers the entire surface. You can also drizzle some extra sauce on individual slices for an extra indulgence. Let the sauce set for a few minutes before serving.

6

Serve and enjoy!

Cut the cake into slices and serve it up to your eagerly waiting guests. The combination of moist chocolate cake and the rich Mole sauce is simply heavenly. Enjoy it as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
