donna's Notes:

Made this cake for my sister in laws birthday. Few tweaks to a basic recipe and waalaa. Came up with this super moist rich chocolate cake. It's very addictive for sure.

Directions

CAKE:

Combine all dry ingredients and mix with wire whisk. Next add all wet ingredients and combine with a large spoon. Then using mixer blend really well for approximately 2 minutes.

Pour evenly into two baking pans and bake as usual. Oven temp of 350º for approximately 30 minutes.
NOTE: to ensure even baking I always use two strips of terry cloth dampened, and then pinned around cake pans. This will help in eliminating that hump in the middle of your cake.

Removed from oven and cool about 5 minutes. I then wrap cakes well in saran wrap while cake is still hot as the steam creates more moisture in your cake. Either refrigerate or freeze cakes depending on when you need the cake. Do not frost cake till it's completely cooled.

ICING:

Cream your butter and shortening together. Add flavoring and then gradually and with mixer on slow add sugar, one cup at a time. Scrape sides often to make sure it all gets mixed in thoroughly. Icing will appear dry then start adding your milk till it becomes of a spreading consistency. When frosting is spreadable, and cookies and stir to mix in by hand.

ASSEMBLY:

Cut each layer in half. Spread oreo frosting on top of the first three layers.

Make the same frosting recipe again only difference is add 3/4 cup cocoa and do not mix in cookies. Use this frosting to frost whole outside of cake. Enjoy.

hehehehe Lynn. Ain't that the truth. I keep saying the same thing and every time I open this site. Lo and behold something else that looks so good you can't resist. And when it comes to chocolate I have no willpower at all, I admit. :D and thanks for the compliment honey.

Your welcome! :)

A question for you..your recipe calls for WHITE chocolate syrup...where do you get that? I can honestly say I haven't heard of it.

Hey Lynn,
It's made by "Torani". I get the white chocolate one by "World Market". They do carry them at walmart. I've just never seen the white chocolate one there. In world market and walmart you'll find them by the coffee section. They are coffee flavored syrups. But I love to use them in my cakes. There are a whole bunch of different flavors. They are not expensive at all. Maybe around 3 or 4 bucks. Not necessary for the cake, but I like putting them in.

Oh okay..now I know what you are talking about. My daughter buys the flavored syrups for her different coffee's all the time. I will have to ask her if she has the white chocolate syrup then. Thank you, Hon..I appreciate you being so prompt in getting back with me. I am looking forward to make this one day...slurppp!
