Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:


----------------------------CAKE---------------------------------
1 3/4 c Sifted cake flour 1 1/4 c Granulated sugar
1/2 c Cocoa powder (not a mix) 1 1/2 ts Vanilla
1 ts Baking soda 2 lg Eggs
1/2 ts Salt 1 c Boiling water
1/2 c Unsalted butter

--------------------------FROSTING-------------------------------
1/4 c Unsalted butter 1 1/2 ts Vanilla
2 c Confectioners' sugar 2 tb Half-and-half OR milk OR
2 oz Unsweetened chocolate - evaporated milk
- melted

PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350F. Grease 2 8-inch layer cake pans well, then
dust them generously with cocoa. (This gives the cake layers a rich
brown finish). Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt onto a
piece of waxed paper and set it aside. Cream the butter until it is
fluffy, add the sugar and vanilla, and continue beating until the
batter is silvery and light. Beat the eggs in one by one, then add
the sifted dry ingredients, alternately with the boiling water,
beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and beating well after
each addition. Divide the batter equally between the two pans,
smoothing the tops. Bake the layers uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes,
or until the layers feel spongy to the touch and begin to pull away
from the sides of the pans. Cool the layers upright in their pans on
wire racks for 10 minutes, then carefully loosen them around the
edges with a spatula and turn them onto wire racks. Cool them
completely. FOR THE FROSTING: Cream the butter until it is light,
then add the confectioners' sugar gradually, beating all the while.
Beat in the melted chocolate and vanilla, then add just enough cream
to make the frosting a good consistency for spreading. Sandwich the
two cake layers together with frosting, then frost the top and sides
of the cake. Swirl the frosting into peaks and valleys.
