Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the sponge cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Beat until just combined.
Divide the batter in half and place in two separate bowls. Add the cocoa powder to one of the bowls and stir until combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the frosting
In a bowl, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar together using an electric mixer. Add the cocoa powder and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and milk and beat until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Assemble the cake
Place one of the cooled cake layers on a serving plate and spread with half of the frosting. Top with the second cake layer and spread with the remaining frosting. Decorate the top of the cake with the chocolate curls.
