- Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
- Grease two round molds and, if preferred, line with parchment paper or flour.
- Mix the hot water and cocoa until perfectly combined.
- Sift the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda into a separate bowl.
- Melt the butter with the sugar in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, and once well combined, transfer it to the bowl where you will mix.
- Beat on medium-low speed until cool for about 4-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the vanilla and cocoa mixture. Reduce the speed to low. Add the flour mixture alternating with the cream, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until combined.
- Divide into the two molds (or one as the case may be) and place in the oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Once the cakes are baked, let them sit in the mold for 10 minutes and then unmold and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Prepare a frosting of your choice, with cream cheese or without cream cheese. You can also buy pre-made frosting.
- Once the cakes are cool, carefully try to level them by cutting off the top with a serrated knife. If you want, you can remove the toasted part of the cake, being careful to keep it as even as possible. If you are only making one, you can cut the cake in half and proceed with the following steps.
- Spread the frosting on one of the cakes and add nuts or fruit as you prefer. On top of the nuts, add more frosting to help stick both cakes together. Once joined, add the rest of the frosting. Don't worry if crumbs are on top. Place the cake in the fridge for an hour.
- Reapply frosting over the previous layer to cover the crumbs. Continue decorating to your liking, with fondant or more frosting and fondant decorations.
