The first thing you need to do is fill a pan or the bottom of a double boiler about 1/3 of the way full with water and bring it to a simmer. Place another pan on top and melt 3 oz of unsweetened chocolate. Once melted, set aside to cool. In a large bowl add 1 stick of room temperature unsalted butter , 2 1/2 cups of lightly packed light brown sugar, 2 tsps of vanilla 3 large eggs Beat on high speed for about 3 minutes or until batter is smooth and light in color

Pour cooled melted chocolate into cake batter

In 3 parts, blend in flower mixture and butter milk to cake batter

Add one cup of boiling water and blend until batter is smooth

​

Okay now its time to butter and flower your cake pans

Pour 1/2 the cake batter into each cake pan and bake in a preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a tooth pic comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool before frosting is applied

Okay speaking of frosting, we need to melt some more chocolate Melt 4oz of unsweetened chocolate in a pan like we did earlier. Once melted set aside to cool

​

In a large bowl add 4 cups of sifted confectioners sugar, 1/2 cup of hot water and the melted chocolate Beat on medium speed until blended

Add one stick of unsalted butter, one egg, and 1 tsp of vanilla

Beat for 2 to 3 minutes until frosting is thick and fluffy

Back to the cakes, Use a serrated knife and remove the dome of the cakes. Once that is done, you can start frosting and and decorating! We used some fresh organic raspberries and a little mint.
