Steps to make Chocolate Layer Cake:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat all wet in ingredients together on medium speed until well blended.
- In another bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
- Slowly add to wet on low speed until just incorporated.
- Grease and flour two 9" cake pans. You may use some cocoa powder instead of flour.
- Place in a preheated 350°F Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Set on cooling racks to cool 20 minutes before removing from cake pans.
- While cake is baking, start the frosting.
- Cream butter and sugar and cocoa powder together beating on medium speed for 3 minutes.
- Add in melted bakers chocolate, cream and mix.
- Add in other ingredients and beat on medium for 4 minutes.
- Refrigerate until cakes are cooled.
- On your serving platter, place one cake layer. To keep a clean platter, cut parchment paper into strips and place around cake.
- Take frosting and frost top of cake layer. Add second cake on top. Spread frosting on top and work down sides.
- You can take your time and work a smooth texture using an off set spatula. Or just frost using all the frosting and leave swirl marks.
- Top the cake with any decorations you wish. Today, I used crushed butterfinger candies. It helps hide mistakes ;)
- Serve and enjoy. Cake should be stored, covered and refrigerated.
