Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup butter, softened
2-1/2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup baking cocoa
2 cups boiling water
2-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
filling:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
frosting:
1 cup (6 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in vanilla. Whisk cocoa and water until smooth. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cocoa mixture. Beat until smooth.
Pour into three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks.
In a bowl, beat cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla on high speed until soft peaks form. Chill until firm.
In a saucepan, melt chips and butter over medium heat; stir in cream. Remove from the heat; stir in confectioners' sugar. Chill for at least 1 hour or until completely cooled. Beat with electric mixer to achieve spreadable consistency.
Spread half of the filling over one cake layer; top with second layer and remaining filling. Top with third layer; frost top and sides of cake. Chill for 2 hours before cutting. Yield: 10-12 servings.
