Steps:
Cake:
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
Step 2: In a bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Step 4: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 5: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Smooth the tops and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 6: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Buttercream Frosting:
Step 7: In a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
Assembling:
Step 8: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of buttercream on top. Repeat with the remaining layers.
Step 9: Frost the sides and top of the cake with the remaining buttercream.
Step 10: Break KITKAT bars in half and arrange them around the sides of the cake, pressing them gently into the frosting.
Step 11: Optional: Tie a ribbon around the cake for an extra decorative touch.
