Death By Chocolate Recipe

Recipe Ingredients

¾ cup of unsalted butter
1 2/3 cups of sugar
3 eggs
1 1/3 cups of milk
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 cup of sweet ground chocolate and cocoa (I used Ghirardelli)
½ Tsp. of baking powder
1 Tsp. of baking soda

Recipe Method

Have all the ingredients at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-by-3-inch cake pan. Mix the flour, ground chocolate, baking powder and baking soda in a mixing bowl and set aside.
In another mixing bowl beat the butter with an electric mixer for 1 minute on low speed.
Add the sugar, increase the speed and beat it for about 3-4 minutes until fluffy. Add one egg at time, beating for 1 minute each time until incorporated. Occasionally scrap down the sides of the bowl. When the mixture is creamy add the flour chocolate mix alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the milk.
Pour the batter in the previously prepared cake pans and bake it for 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Transfer the pans to two wire racks and let them cool for 10 minutes. Unmold the cakes and let them completely cool down before frosting.
