Double chocolate cake! Yum!

Yield: Select
Prep time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Course: Cakes/Frostings

Ingredients:
  • 6 oz.white chocolate, for garnish
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup, plus 3 tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup, plus 3 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 pint heavy cream
  • 10 1/2 oz. semisweet chocolate

Instructions:
  1. Finely grate white chocolate onto a plate using a vegetable peeler. Chill until needed. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Grease the base of two 8-inch round cake pans; line with parchment paper. Combine butter, sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and eggs in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer set on medium, beat until smooth. Continue beating until increased in volume, about 2 minutes longer. Divide batter between pans.
  3. Bake cakes until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Leave cakes in pans to cool for 1 minute, then turn onto a wire rack. Peel of lining paper; let cool.
  4. Meanwhile, heat heavy cream just to a boil. Break semisweet chocolate into pieces; add to cream and stir until melted. Let cool; chill for 30 minutes, then whisk until thickened to a spreadable consistency.
  5. Use a third of chocolate frosting to sandwich cakes. Spread the remainder over the whole cake. Sprinkle reserved grated white chocolate to garnish.
