Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour two 9 inch
round cake pans.
In a saucepan, melt butter and chocolate, stirring
constantly, over very low heat. Combine flour, sugar,
cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl of
electric mixer. Add chcoclate mixture, buttermilk, and
eggs. Beat on low speed for one minute. Increase
speed to high and beat until light and fluffy, about
two minutes.
Divide batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake
until cakes spring back when gently pressed in the
canter, about 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pans for five
minutes. Then remove cakes from pan and cool on a wire
rack.
Meanwhile, bring the cream just to a boil. Remove
from heat and stir in the chocolate chips. Mix until
frosting is smooth and starts to thicken.
Place 1 cooled layer on a serving plate. Spread with
1/3 cup frosting. Top with second layer. Frost top and
sides of cake with remaining frosting.
