How to Make Chocolate Cake W/ Chocolate Butter Cream Frosting

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 350 degree F.

Line 2 - 9 inch cake pans with wax paper cut out to fit bottom of pans; grease and flour. Set aside.

You can also bake this cake in a 9 x 13 inch cake pan.
Microwave baking bars in small, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10 to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth; cool to room temperature.

Pour into two well-greased and floured 9-inch round baking pans or one 13 x 9-inch baking pan.
Bake for 30 -35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 20 minutes; invert onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
