Method

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan forced. Grease and line two 20cm round cake pans.
Using an electric mixer; beat butter and Chelsea Caster Sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Sift cocoa and flour; add half to butter mixture with half the buttermilk; mix well; repeat with remaining flour and buttermilk.
Divide mixture evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 40 minutes or until cakes spring back when touched in centre. Stand cakes in pans for 10 minutes; turn out onto wire racks lined with baking paper to cool completely.
To make cream filling: use an electric mixer to beat cream, Chelsea Caster Sugar and vanilla until firm peaks form. Place one of the cakes on a cake stand or serving plate; spread with cream; top with the remaining cake.
To make Chocolate Frosting: use an electric mixer to beat butter until light and fluffy; add sifted cocoa, Chelsea Icing Sugar and milk; mix until thick and creamy. Spread over the top of the cake
