Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups light brown sugar , packed
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
6 eggs
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar , packed
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Heat oven to 350°F; spray bottom of 3 (9 inch) round pans with cooking spray. Line bottoms with parchment paper; spray paper. Sprinkle bottoms and sides of pans with flour, tapping out excess.

At low speed, beat in flour mixture alternatively with chocolate mixture just until blended, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Divide batter between pans; smooth tops with spatula.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and cakes just begin to pull away from the sides of pans, rotating pans during last 5 minutes of baking if necessary. Cool in pans on wire rack 15 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire rack, remove parchment. Cool completely.
