Ingredients:

Serving

1 package devil's food cake mix (regular size)
1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
4 eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp chocolate syrup
2 tsp vanilla extract
frosting:
1 lb semisweet chocolate, chopped
6 tbsp dutch-process cocoa powder
6 tbsp boiling water
1-1/2 cups butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the first nine ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour into two greased and floured 8-in. baking pans.
Bake at 350° for 38-43 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For frosting, in a microwave, melt chocolate; stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature, about 20-30 minutes. Meanwhile, dissolve cocoa in boiling water; cool.
In a large bowl, beat butter and confectioners' sugar until fluffy. Add melted chocolate; beat on low speed until combined, scraping sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in cocoa mixture.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1-1/2 cups frosting. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Yield: 12 servings.
