Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 9-inch cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and sugar until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine room-temperature eggs and softened butter, then mix until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, ensuring a consistent batter without lumps.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  6. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove them to cool completely on wire racks.
  7. Melt white chocolate for the spiderweb effect, let cool slightly, and transfer to a piping bag.
  8. Assemble the cake by layering with frosting, then frost the entire cake and pipe the spiderweb design on top.
  9. Chill the decorated cake for about 30 minutes before serving.
