Steps:
- For the chocolate cake layers: Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line three 8-inch round cake pans with parchment and spray with nonstick spray.
- Combine the sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and mix on high speed until light in color, about 1 minute.
- Add the eggs, 2 at a time. Mix on medium-high speed after each addition until fully incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, combine the hot water and buttermilk. Add the black cocoa and whisk until smooth.
- Add 1 cup of the cake flour to the mixture in the stand mixer and mix on low speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as necessary, until the flour is fully incorporated.
- Pour in half of the buttermilk-cocoa mixture, and gently pulse the mixture to incorporate the liquid (or you'll end up splattering it all over your kitchen!). Repeat with 1 more cup of the cake flour and the remaining cocoa mixture. Add the remaining 1 cup cake flour and mix on low speed just until incorporated.
- Pour an equal amount of the batter between the prepared cake pans. (I weigh the pans on a kitchen scale to ensure each one has exactly the same amount.)
- Bake 2 pans on the upper rack and 1 on the lower rack, switching and rotating the pans halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 31 to 33 minutes.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then run an offset spatula around the edge of each pan to help release the cake.
- Place the pans in the freezer for about 45 minutes to speed up the cooling. Once the cakes are fully cooled, carefully invert each cake onto a plate and remove the parchment.
- Use a serrated knife to level the top of each cake and place the trimmings in a small bowl. Break up the trimmings into small crumbs with a fork, cover with plastic wrap and reserve to decorate the cake.
- For the chocolate ganache frosting: While the cake layers bake and cool, place the chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl and set aside.
- Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat just until it begins to bubble. Pour over the chocolate, making sure all the chocolate is submerged. Let sit for about 2 minutes, letting the heat from the cream melt the chocolate.
- Carefully stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until the ganache is silky smooth and all the chocolate is melted. (If any bits of chocolate still aren't melted, microwave the ganache for 30 seconds at a time, until the cream and chocolate are fully incorporated. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- For the chocolate pudding filling: Combine the instant pudding mix and cold milk in a medium bowl. Whisk until the mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
- To assemble the chocolate blackout cake: Add a dab of ganache to a greaseproof cake board to help the first cake layer to adhere. Top with 1 cake layer. Spread an even layer of ganache over the top with an offset spatula. Using a rubber spatula, spread 1/4 of the chocolate pudding over the ganache. Top with the second cake layer and repeat spreading the ganache and pudding. Finally, top with the third cake layer. Reserve the remaining pudding for decorating the cake.
- Cover the top and sides of the cake in a thin coating of ganache, then smooth with a bench scraper. Refrigerate the cake for 10 minutes or freeze for 5 minutes, until the ganache is firm to the touch.
- Cover the cake in a second, thicker coating of ganache, then smooth again with a bench scraper. If desired, use an icing comb to create ridges around the sides of the cake.
- Decorate the cake, as desired. I cover the top of the cake with some of the reserved cake crumbs and pudding then place some more crumbs around the base. I also add a ganache drip around the top for fun!

Steps:
- Make the filling: Bring the milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and egg in a medium heatproof bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk half of the hot milk into the sugar mixture, then return to the pan with the remaining milk. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils and thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl (strain through a fine-mesh sieve if it looks lumpy), then stir in the chocolate until melted. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the ganache: Put the chocolate and salt in a large heatproof bowl. Bring 1 1/2 cups heavy cream to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; pour over the chocolate and let sit 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Pour 3/4 cup of the ganache into a liquid measuring cup and set aside at room temperature. Refrigerate the remaining ganache in the bowl until thick but not set, about 1 hour.
- Assemble the cake: Put 1 cake layer on a platter; spread the filling on top, stopping about 1/2 inch from the edge. Top with the second cake layer and press down gently.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons heavy cream to the chilled ganache and beat with a mixer on medium speed until just fluffy, about 1 minute (do not overbeat). Frost the whole cake with the whipped ganache. Pour the room-temperature ganache on top, letting it drip down the sides. Let set before slicing, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch-round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Whisk the cocoa powder and 1 1/2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl until combined. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, sour cream and vanilla and beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the cocoa mixture in a steady stream until just combined, then finish mixing with a rubber spatula. (The batter will be thin.)
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and tap the pans against the counter to help the batter settle. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge of the pans and turn the cakes out onto the racks to cool completely. Remove the parchment. Trim the tops of the cakes with a long serrated knife to make them level, if desired.

Steps:
- Combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, half-and-half and milk in a saucepan. Whisk over medium heat. Add chocolate and whisk 2-4 minutes until chocolate melts and edges begin to bubble.
- Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla extract. Scrape into a bowl. Press a layer of parchment paper or plastic wrap right against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate at least 4 hours until cold.
- Preheat oven to 325°F Butter and flour two 9" cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Melt butter over medium heat. Add cocoa powder and stir well. Cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and whisk in coffee and buttermilk. Add white sugar and brown sugar and whisk until sugar is dissolved. Add eggs and vanilla and whisk well. Whisk in dry mixture, a little at a time, until fully incorporated; do not overmix.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick comes out bearing just a couple of crumbs, 30-35 minutes. Cool in pans 15 minutes, then invert onto cooling racks and allow to cool completely.
- Divide each layer in half horizontally, making 4 equal layers. Take the "ugliest" looking layer, and crumble into a bowl, making fairly large crumbs.
- Using an offset spatula, spread 1 cup pudding over bottom layer. Top with next layer, then another 1 cup of pudding, then the last layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining pudding. Be sure to push pudding in between layers when frosting sides. Sprinkle top and sides with cake crumbs.
BLACKOUT CAKE
This absurdly rich chocolate cake came to The Times in a 1991 article by Molly O'Neill about Ebinger's, the legendary chain of Brooklyn bakeries that closed its doors in 1972 after 74 years in business. Their wildly popular blackout cake, a three layer devil's food cake filled with dark chocolate pudding, slathered with chocolate frosting and covered with chocolate cake crumbs, had a cult-like following in its day. This recipe isn't authentic (the Ebinger family never shared the original recipe with the public), but Ms. O'Neill claims in her book, "The New York Cookbook: From Pelham Bay to Park Avenue, Firehouses to Four-Star Restaurants," that this version got the thumbs-up from "a panel of twelve Ebingerites." That's enough for us.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees.
- To make the cake, place the cocoa in a small bowl and whisk in the boiling water to form a paste. Combine the chocolate and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as the mixture warms and the chocolate melts, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk a small amount of the heated chocolate milk into the cocoa paste and then whisk the cocoa mixture into the milk mixture. Return to heat, stir for one minute, remove and cool until tepid.
- In the bowl of a mixer, cream the sugar and butter together. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time and add the vanilla. Slowly stir in the chocolate mixture.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Using a spatula or a wooden spoon, slowly add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture. In another bowl, whip the egg whites to form soft peaks and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Butter and lightly flour two 8-inch round cake pans and divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for 45 minutes and cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Gently remove the cakes from the pans and continue to cool.
- While the cake is baking, make the filling. Put the cocoa into a saucepan and pour in the boiling water and place over low heat. Add the sugar and chocolate. Dissolve the cornstarch in the cold water to make a smooth paste. Whisk the cornstarch into the water and chocolate, add the salt and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat, whisk in the vanilla and the butter, and transfer the mixture to a bowl and refrigerate until cool.
- Make the frosting. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, returning to heat if necessary to melt the butter.
- Whisk in the hot water all at once and stir until smooth. Whisk in the corn syrup and the vanilla. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes before using.
- Assemble the cake. Use a sharp knife to slice each cake into two disks to form four layers. Set one layer aside. Place one layer on a cake round or plate. Generously swath the layer with filling. Add the second layer and repeat. Add the third layer. Quickly apply a layer of frosting to the top and the sides of the cake and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, crumble the remaining cake layer. Apply a second layer of frosting to the cake, press cake crumbs into the top and sides of the cake, and serve within 24 hours. Store in a cool place.

- Preheat the oven to 375°. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans and coat lightly with flour. Line the bottoms with parchment paper. In a standing electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the 1 stick of butter with the shortening until creamy. Add the sugar and beat at medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well between additions. Add the vanilla. At very low speed, beat in the cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the 2 1/4 cups of cake flour and the milk in 3 separate alternating batches, scraping down the side and bottom of the bowl occasionally.
- In a large saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups of the water with the sugar, corn syrup and cocoa powder and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. In a bowl, whisk the cornstarch with the remaining 1/2 cup of water until smooth; whisk into the cocoa mixture. Cook over moderately high heat, whisking constantly, until very thick, 3 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the butter, vanilla and salt. Scrape the filling into a bowl and press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling (you should have about 5 cups). Let cool, then refrigerate until firm, 45 minutes.
