Instructions to make Chocolate Layer Cake:

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat all wet in ingredients together on medium speed until well blended.
2. In another bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
3. Slowly add to wet on low speed until just incorporated.
4. Grease and flour two 9" cake pans. You may use some cocoa powder instead of flour.
5. Place in a preheated 350°F Fahrenheit oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Set on cooling racks to cool 20 minutes before removing from cake pans.
7. While cake is baking, start the frosting.
8. Cream butter and sugar and cocoa powder together beating on medium speed for 3 minutes.
9. Add in melted bakers chocolate, cream and mix.
10. Add in other ingredients and beat on medium for 4 minutes.
11. Refrigerate until cakes are cooled.
12. On your serving platter, place one cake layer. To keep a clean platter, cut parchment paper into strips and place around cake.
13. Take frosting and frost top of cake layer. Add second cake on top. Spread frosting on top and work down sides.
14. You can take your time and work a smooth texture using an off set spatula. Or just frost using all the frosting and leave swirl marks.
15. Top the cake with any decorations you wish. Today, I used crushed butterfinger candies. It helps hide mistakes ;)
16. Serve and enjoy. Cake should be stored, covered and refrigerated.

Assembling the cake: Set one layer on a plate with the flat side facing up (or, if your cake rose too much, cut its rounded top with a knife to make it flat - totally optional). Top with the second cake layer, rounded side up. Spread the remaining frosting over the top and sides of the cake. Next, layer cheesecake and top with chocolate icing. Place second chocolate cake and ice with frosting on top and on the sides.
