1. Prepare the Chocolate Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the boiling water to the batter, stirring until the batter becomes thin.
- Fold in the mini M&Ms.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Chocolate Frosting:
- Beat the softened butter in a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Sift in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, then beat until combined.
- Add the vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream, and beat until the frosting is smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add more cream, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired consistency.
3. Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving platter or cake stand.
- Spread a generous amount of frosting over the top of the first layer.
- Place the second layer of cake on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake with the chocolate frosting.
4. Decorate the Cake:
- Decorate the top of the cake with mini M&Ms, making a colorful border or pattern as you like.
- For extra fun, add sprinkles or chocolate shavings around the edges or on top.
- You can also add additional M&Ms to the sides of the cake for extra texture and color.
