12-16 Servings
Prep: 35 min. Bake: 25 min. + cooling
Ingredients
2/3 cup butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1-3/4 cups sugar
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1-1/4 cups water
1 teaspoon Spice Islands®, All Natural, No Corn Syrup Added, Pure Vanilla Extract
3 eggs
CHOCOLATE FILLING:
2 bars (4 ounces each) German sweet chocolate, divided
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
CREAM FILLING:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon Spice Islands®, All Natural, No Corn Syrup Added, Pure Vanilla Extract
- Line two greased 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper, set aside. In a heavy saucepan or microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth and cool. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and baking powder. Add the chocolate mixture, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 1 minute; beat on medium for 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Pour into the prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For chocolate filling, melt 1-1/2 bars of German chocolate in a heavy saucepan or microwave; stir until smooth. Stir in butter and nuts. Watching closely, cool filling just until it reaches spreading consistency. For cream filling, beat cream in a chilled large bowl until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form.
- Split each cake into two horizontal layers. Place one layer on a serving plate; cover with half of the chocolate filling. Top with a second cake layer; spread on half of the cream filling. Repeat layers. Grate remaining German chocolate; sprinkle on the top. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 12-16 servings.
