The layers are easily frozen, thawing prior to frosting with Seafoam Frosting #143253 that makes a wonderful do-ahead dessert.

Time 45m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

fine dry breadcrumb
1 2/3 cups cake flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter (not tub or spread product) or 3/4 cup margarine, softened (not tub or spread product)
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 large eggs
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate squares, melted
1 1/2 cups water (icy cold)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Grease three 8" layer cake pans; dust lightly with bread crumbs.
  • Sift dry ingredients together.
  • Cream butter and sugar; add vanilla.
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well blended.
  • Beat in chocolate.
  • Add water alternatively with dry ingredients.
  • Divide batter into cake pans, spread to level, then push batter up the sides a little bit leaving a slight concavity in the center.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until cake just begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
  • Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then invert and cool completely on cooling racks.
  • If necessary for even frosting, cut the tops level.
  • Frost layers, staking them, and sides with your favorite frosting (I like coffee flavored Seafoam Frosting).
  • With your spatula, quickly pull frosting up in peaks all over the cake.
