TIERED CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Butter 1 (4 by 3-inch) cake pan, 1 (6 by 3-inch) cake pan and 1 (8 by 3-inch) cake pan. Line the bottoms with parchment paper, and butter and flour the pans.
- Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on high speed until light, approximately 5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Combine the buttermilk, sour cream, and coffee. On low speed, add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture alternately in thirds, beginning with the buttermilk mixture and ending with the flour mixture. Mix the batter only until blended.
- Divide the batter between the 3 pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake on the middle rack of the oven as follows: for the 4-inch pan 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean; for the 6-inch pan 70 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean; and for the 8-inch pan 85 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes each on a cooling rack, carefully remove from the pans and allow to finish cooling.
- Place the 8-inch cake on a serving plate, flat side up. Frost the top of that layer with buttercream. Place the 6-inch cake in the center of the top of the 8-inch cake, flat-side up, and frost the top and sides. Place the 4-inch cake in the center of the top of the 6-inch cake, flat side down. Frost the top and sides of that layer with buttercream. Spread any remaining buttercream over the cake evenly.
- Chop the chocolates and place them in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan simmering water. Stir until melted and set aside until cooled to room temperature.
- Mix the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Place the bowl of egg whites over the pan of simmering water and heat the egg whites until they are warm to the touch, about 5 minutes. Return the bowl to the electric mixer and whisk on high speed for 5 minutes, or until the meringue is cool and holds a stiff peak.
- Add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, while beating on medium speed. Scrape down the bowl, add the melted chocolate, vanilla, espresso, and rum, if using, and mix for 1 minute or until the chocolate is completely blended in. If the buttercream seems very soft, allow it to cool, and beat it again.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on high speed until light, approximately 5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well. Combine the buttermilk, sour cream, and coffee. On low speed, add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture alternately in thirds, beginning with the buttermilk mixture and ending with the flour mixture. Mix the batter only until blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan, smooth the top with a spatula, and bake in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before frosting.
- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- 6 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 1/4 pounds (5 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Triple Sec or other orange liqueur
- 1 tablespoon orange food coloring
- Combine the sugar with 2/3 cup water in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and, without stirring, bring to a boil. Cover the saucepan and allow the mixture to boil until the sugar dissolves. Uncover and continue boiling until the mixture reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Pour the syrup into a heat-proof measuring cup.
- Place the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on high speed until the eggs form stiff peaks. With the mixer on high speed, slowly pour the syrup into the egg whites. Continue beating on high speed until the mixture is absolutely at room temperature, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- With the mixer on medium speed, add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, and then add the vanilla and liqueur. (If the mixture becomes runny, the meringue was too warm and the butter melted. Chill slightly and beat again.) Add the food coloring and combine.
- Yield: 6 cups
THE ONLY CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE YOU'LL EVER NEED! (DEVIL'S FOOD)
This chocolate cake is absolutely thee best we have ever had. It is so moist and rich, I never make anything else (unless I am short on time :) The frosting recipe included goes perfectly with this cake, but you can use any frosting you like. Try this once and you'll see why I call it "The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You'll Ever Need"!! Adding 2/18/06: I want to note that I recently used sweetened whipped heavy cream with vanilla and it was just as fabulous as the frosting recipe listed, plus much easier. I also used hazelnut coffee in the cake and it added even more of a little extra something!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Add oil, coffee and milk and mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat 2 more minutes. Expect batter to be thin.
- Pour into a 9" x 13" greased and floured pan or 2- 9" round pans. Bake 9 x 13 pan for about 45 minutes or 9" pans for about 30 minutes. Cool in pans for about 15 minutes and then cool completely on racks.
- While cake is cooling make the icing: Combine the milk and flour in a saucepan and cook over low heat until thick, whisking constantly. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add chilled milk and flour mixture and beat for 10 minutes. Frost cooled cake and enjoy! The frosting sounds intimidating, but it is worth it! By the way, for some reason, we prefer this cake chilled, right out of the refrigerator. The rich chocolate and cool frosting just seem to taste best this way.
CHOCOLATE & RASPBERRY SCHNAPPS CAKE
Easy to make cake because of the mix, but tastes very homemade with the additions of the schnapps. Other schnapps flavors can be substituted such as peach. Serve with fresh raspberries for a dessert fit for company!

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BUTTERCREAM
This is a bit of work to make, but the reaction of your guests will be worth it. Three members of my family immediately announced that they too wanted this cake when their birthdays came around. I made the mousse buttercream with a hand mixer and it took FOREVER, so don't make it unless you have a stand mixer.

Steps:
- Cake:.
- In a large bowl, combine the cocoa powder, espresso powder, and chocolate.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla and let cool; then stir in the buttermilk.
- In another bowl, using an electric mixer set at medium speed, beat the butter and oil together until light and fluffy.
- Add the sugars and beat until creamy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper.
- Add one-third of the flour mixture and beat at low just until combined.
- Beat in half of the chocolate-buttermilk mixture just until combined.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Beat in another one-third of the remaining flour mixture for no more than a few seconds, just until combined.
- Add the remaining chocolate-buttermilk mixture, beating just a few seconds.
- Finally, fold in the remaining one-third of the flour mixture by hand, using a large rubber spatula, just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Divide the batter between two 9-inch round cake pans that have been greased and lined with parchment.
- Bake at 350°F 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Transfer to wire racks and let cool 5-10 minutes.
- Invert the cakes onto the racks and peel the parchment paper from the layers.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
- Halve each cake layer horizontally using a long serrated knife (plain dental floss works for me) for a total of four thin cake layers.
- Place one layer cut-side up on a serving plate and top with 1 cup of the mousse buttercream, spreading it evenly.
- Continue stacking the cake, spreading 1 cup of the buttercream in between each layer and placing the layer cut-side down.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream.
- Chocolate Mousse Buttercream:.
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and cocoa powder in the metal bowl of a stand mixer.
- Fill a large saute pan or skillet with water and bring to a simmer over mediium-high heat.
- Place the mixing bowl in the simmering water and whisk the egg mixture constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is thick, fluffy, and very hot, 3-4 minutes.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the mixture -- it should be anywhere between 120-140°F.
- Remove the bowl from the simmering water and, using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium-high speed until they are tripled in volume and form soft peaks and the bottom of the bowl is completely cool to the touch, about 10 minutes (it took 45 minutes with a hand mixer -- don't try it!).
- Beat in the vanilla and salt.
- While the eggs are mixing, unwrap the individual sticks of butter and rewrap them loosely in plastic wrap.
- Pound the butter 5-6 times with a rolling pin, until it is soft and malleable but still cool.
- With the mixer speed still on med-high, add the butter 2 T at a time, to the egg mixture, beating in each addition until it is incorporated.
- Don't panic if it seems liquidy or looks curdled; it will magically emulsify.
- When the buttercream is smooth and glossy with a subtle brown tint from the cocoa powder, turn off the mixer and carefully fold in the melted chocolate.
