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.

Set on cooling racks to cool 20 minutes before removing from cake pans.

Cream butter and sugar and cocoa powder together beating on medium speed for 3 minutes.

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.

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.

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.
