     Fudgy Chocoate Layer Cake

Category   Desserts - Breads
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
1 3/4 cup cake flour
1 cup less 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
1 1/2 cup buttermilk
Frosting-See note below
2 1/2 sticks butter, softened
3 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
6 oz (6 squares) unsweetened chocolate, melted
3 T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 T butter
5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Chocolate shavings-optional

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350. Line bottoms of two 9-inch round cake pans with waxed paper. Grease paper and sides of pans. Dust with flour. Mix flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla.
At low speed, alternately beat flour mixture and buttermilk, into butter mixture just until blended. Divide batter equally between prepared pans. Bake cakes until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer pans to wire racks to cook for 10 minutes. Turn out onto racks. Remove paper. Turn layers topside up and cool completely.
To prepare frosting, beat butter and confectioner's sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; continue beating until shiny and smooth. Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with frosting. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread frosting on top and sides of cake. Let cake stand for at least 30 minutes before sprinkling with chocolate shavings and slicing.
With this recipe, you'll have 1/2 stick butter leftover that I now put into additional icing. To make it easier (and I ran out of unsweetened chocolate bars), I added to the 6 squares of bar- 3 T cocoa powder and 1 T butter. Gives a great consistency to the icing! All of the remaining amounts have been accounted for above.
