How To Make triple chocolate torte, barb
-
Step 1Grease and flour 2 nine inch round cake pans. Prepare cake mix to directions, using 2 eggs and 1 1/3 c water. Divide cake mix evenly into pans, bake at 350 degrees 35-40 min or until you touch in the middle with your finger and the cake springs back. Cool in pan 5 min, then remove from pans to cool completely.
-
Step 2Frosting: melt together margarine and heavy cream. You can use a double boiler, or just stir constantly and heat over low heat so not to burn. Add chocolate squares, and when melted, remove from heat and beat in powdered sugar to texture. Cool completely before frosting.

Step 3Put a layer on the serving plate, top with 3/4 c frosting, top with second layer, frost top and sides. If you want a decorative touch, you can shave extra pieces of semisweet baking chocolate with a potato peeler (best if very cold first), put on tops and sides of cake, and dust with extra powdered sugar.
