Translation: Beyond Chocolate Cake! This is a glorious chocolate cake, the ultimate in moistness. I'm thinking of substituting this for the usual boxed German Chocolate I usually make for my son's birthday this year. You could also call it: Death by Chocolate!

How To Make Über schokoladenkuchen

Step 1

In a large bowl or standing mixer, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in melted chocolate.

In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Add buttermilk and chocolate mixture, alternating. Stir in vanilla.

In a small bowl, dissolve baking soda in vinegar. Slowly add this to the chocolate mixture. Mix just until blended. Do not over-mix!
Step 4

Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans. Line bottom of pans with parchment paper. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes, then remove from pans. Transfer to wire racks and cool completely before frosting.
Step 5

FOR FROSTING: In a large mixing bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well between additions. Stir in chocolate and vanilla. If necessary, thin frosting with 1 to 2 tsps. half-and-half.
