Creating Catch a Husband Cake is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the eggs and mix in the vanilla extract, blending well.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until combined.
5. Add Boiling Water: Carefully stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. It will be thin.
6. Pour Batter: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
7. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove the pans from the oven. Allow them to cool in the pans for about 20 minutes, then transfer the cakes to wire racks to cool completely.
9. Prepare the Frosting: While the cakes cool, beat the softened butter for the frosting until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder, mixing well. Add vanilla extract and milk until you achieve a smooth consistency.
10. Assemble the Cake: Once cooled, place one layer on a cake platter. Spread a layer of frosting over the top. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake as desired.
