#### **Step 4: Add the Hot Water**
Here’s where the magic happens! Slowly pour in the **hot water** while mixing the batter on low speed. The batter will be quite thin and runny, but that’s exactly what you want. The hot water helps create the wet, gooey texture that makes this cake so melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
#### **Step 5: Bake the Cake**
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for about **30-35 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. You want the cake to be slightly underbaked so that it remains incredibly moist and soft.
#### **Step 6: Let the Cakes Cool**
Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for about **10 minutes**, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. If you want the cake to be even more moist, you can lightly poke holes in the top of the cakes while they’re still warm and pour a little **extra buttermilk** or **chocolate syrup** over the top to infuse even more moisture.
#### **Step 7: Make the Chocolate Glaze (Optional)**
While the cake cools, you can make the **chocolate glaze**. In a small saucepan, heat the **heavy cream** over medium heat until it’s just about to boil. Remove from heat and add the **chocolate chips** and **butter**. Stir until smooth and glossy. Drizzle this over the top of your cooled cake for an extra layer of chocolate indulgence!
#### **Step 8: Assemble the Cake**
Once your cakes are fully cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of frosting or chocolate glaze over the top, then add the second layer of cake and drizzle more glaze over the top. You can also frost the sides of the cake if you like, or keep it simple with just the glaze.
#### **Step 9: Serve and Enjoy!**
Slice the cake into generous pieces and serve it up to your lucky guests. You’ll love the way the **moist, wet texture** of the cake contrasts with the rich, chocolatey glaze. Pair with a scoop of **vanilla ice cream** or enjoy it plain—the choice is yours!
### **Why This Cake Is So Special**
