• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk

• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.

9. Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
