CHOCOLATE LOVER'S DREAM CAKE
My husband brought this recipe home. He had copied it out of a recipe book at work. He has never done this before so I had to make it. We have made it twice in two weeks. It is really chocolatey and rich so be prepared. I have never used the glaze recipe, I just find a chocolate frosting recipe here on 'Zaar. I would like to try it with peanut butter frosting. This is a big cake so make sure to measure your pan and make sure it will hold 12 cups.

Steps:
- 1. CAKE: Combine all dry ingredients and mix with wire whisk. Next add all wet ingredients and combine with a large spoon. Then using mixer blend really well for approximately 2 minutes.
- 2. Pour evenly into two baking pans and bake as usual. Oven temp of 350º for approximately 30 minutes. NOTE: to ensure even baking I always use two strips of terry cloth dampened, and then pinned around cake pans. This will help in eliminating that hump in the middle of your cake.
- 3. Removed from oven and cool about 5 minutes. I then wrap cakes well in saran wrap while cake is still hot as the steam creates more moisture in your cake. Either refrigerate or freeze cakes depending on when you need the cake. Do not frost cake till it's completely cooled.
- 4. ICING: Cream your butter and shortening together. Add flavoring and then gradually and with mixer on slow add sugar, one cup at a time. Scrape sides often to make sure it all gets mixed in thoroughly. Icing will appear dry then start adding your milk till it becomes of a spreading consistency. When frosting is spreadable, and cookies and stir to mix in by hand.
- 5. ASSEMBLY: Cut each layer in half. Spread oreo frosting on top of the first three layers.
- 6. Make the same frosting recipe again only difference is add 3/4 cup cocoa and do not mix in cookies. Use this frosting to frost whole outside of cake. Enjoy.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
- Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients to blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
