Mix flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and sugar in a mixing bowl.

Beat the eggs and mix the vegetable oil/butter and milk/water with it.

Mix the dry and wet ingredients together using an electric mixer or by hand.

Transfer the contents to a baking pan and bake for 30- 45 minutes in a oven preheated to 350 degrees F. (Every oven differs. So the temperature and time also may change accordingly.

If the cake starts browning too fast reduce the temperature. Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.)

Cool the cake completely before frosting. Cut the cake through the middle to get 2 cake layers to apply frosting in between.

Frosting 1
Heat the heavy cream and sugar in a small pan.

Remove from the stove and add the semisweet chocolate and stir until the chocolate melts. Smooth and creamy icing is ready.

Spread the frosting with a spatula on top and between the two layers of the cake.

Frosting 2
Mix all the ingredients together and heat until everything blends.

Apply the creamy chocolaty frosting on top and in between the layers of the cake
