this cake is nothing short of amazing, it is meant to be baked in three pans, baking in anything less will not produce the best results - see my Kittencal's Chocolate Frosting/Icing Ingredients:
2 cups boiling water |
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2 teaspoon unstant instant coffee granules (for a more intense flavor use 1 teaspoon) |
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup butter, softened |
2 cups white sugar |
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
4 large eggs |

1. Set oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Set oven to second-lowest rack.
3. Grease three 9-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.
4. In a heat proof medium mixing bowl mix together the boiling water with cocoa powder and coffee granules until completely combined; allow to cool for about 20 minutes or until room temperature.
5. In another bowl sift the flour with baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
