1 4 ounce Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate bars

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Into a mixing bowl, sift flour with ground chocolate, sugar, baking soda, cream of tartar and salt. Add shortening and 1 cup buttermilk. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape bowl down. Add 1/2 cup buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Beat additional 2 minutes on medium speed.

Grease bottoms of two 9x1 1/2-inch round cake pans. Line with waxed paper. Spread batter into pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool on racks 10-15 minutes; remove from pans. Frost.

Rich Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting:
In medium-size heavy saucepan, melt broken chocolate with water and coffee. Stir constantly until mixture is very smooth. Remove from heat. Mix in confectioners sugar and beat in until smooth. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. Place pan in bowl of ice and water. Add butter, in 4 additions, beating until frosting is very light in color and thick enough to spread. Chill cake to set frosting.
