Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Grease and flour the insides of two 14-14.5 ounce cans.
- Place the cans on a baking sheet, and set aside.
- Whisk the buttermilk, egg yolk, and vanilla together in a small bowl.
- Gradually pour the melted butter into the buttermilk mixture, whisking constantly.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium-size mixing bowl; add sugar, and then whisk to blend well.
- Add the buttermilk mixture and whisk just until the dry ingredients are moistened.
- Divide the batter between the prepared cans.
- Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Place the cans to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edge of each can and invert them to release the cakes.
- Turn the cakes upright and let them cool completely on the rack.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting: Place chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, and heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. (May also do this in the microwave.).
- Let the chocolate mixture cool for 5 minutes. Then add the sour cream, vanilla, and salt, and whisk to blend well.
- Let the frosting cool to room temperature, stirring it occasionally.
- When frosting and cakes have cooled, cut each cake in half horizontally.
- Spread a layer of frosting about 1/2 inch thick on the cut side of one cake half, then stack the other half on top of it.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake.
- Repeat with the remaining cake and frosting.
- Store the cakes in the refrigerator in an airtight container, bringing them back to room temperature before serving.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Grease the cake pans with 1 tablespoon butter, then dust with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, tapping out any extra. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and remaining 1 1/2 cups cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and remaining 3 sticks butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the vanilla, then beat in the eggs one at a time. On low speed, add the salt directly to the wet ingredients, then add half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Add the sour cream and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently incorporate the remaining flour mixture with a rubber spatula. Do not overmix. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Spread half of the batter in each of the prepared pans. Tap the pans lightly on the counter so that the batter settles. Place the pans on the center rack of the oven and bake until a tester or small knife inserted in the center emerges clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool for at least 30 minutes. Unmold onto a rack. Cool to room temperature, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more.
- Mix together the bourbon and the simple syrup in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the frosting: In a medium pot, bring the heavy cream to a simmer. In a medium oven-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and sugar. Place the bowl on top of the pot with the heavy cream to melt. Once the cream is simmering, pour it over the chocolate mixture and stir until all of the chocolate has melted and you have a glossy ganache. Gently stir in the vanilla, followed by the butter pieces. Set aside to let cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture to the clean bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip the frosting for 1 to 2 minutes to lighten the texture.
- Put the cake layers on a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Using a pastry brush, brush about half the bourbon mixture on each cake layer. Frost the top of the bottom layer, then stack the other layer on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake.

CHOCOLATE-CHOCOLATE BIRTHDAY CAKE
This is the birthday cake I've made for my son since he was about 11. After boxed cakes, ice-cream cakes, a cake in a Darth Vader mold (that year, the party's theme was "May the Fours Be With You), this cake hit the spot and remains a favorite. It's a double-layer devil's-food cake made with cocoa and bittersweet chocolate, the same pair that makes the frosting so luscious. You can make the layers ahead of time, wrap them and freeze them for up to a month. As for the frosting, it's best spread between the layers and over the cake when it's just made. Once assembled, the cake can be refrigerated overnight. It cuts most easily when it's cold but tastes best when it's at room temperature, which is about what it will be once the candles are blown out and the slices put on plates. Ice cream alongside is unnecessary but nice. Hey, it's a birthday!

Steps:
- Center a rack in the oven, and preheat it to 350. Butter the interiors of two 9-inch round cake pans, dust with a little cocoa powder and tap out the excess. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- Working with an electric mixer (use the paddle, if you have one), beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, and beat for a minute after each goes in; beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low, and add the dry ingredients in 3 additions and the buttermilk in 2 (start and finish with the dry, and don't worry if the buttermilk makes the batter look slightly curdled). Mix in the melted chocolate. Divide the batter evenly between the pans.
- Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, until a tester poked into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Transfer to racks, let rest 5 minutes and then run a blunt knife around the edges of the pans. Unmold the cakes onto the racks, and cool to room temperature.
- Make the frosting: Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder. Using an electric mixer (with the paddle, if available), beat the sugar, cocoa, salt and butter on high speed until fluffy. On low speed, add the chocolate. When it's almost incorporated, beat in the buttermilk. It's best to use the frosting immediately.
- If necessary, just before you're ready to frost the cakes, slice a sliver off the top of each layer to create a flat surface. To assemble, place one cake layer, top up, on a serving platter, and cover with frosting. Top with the second layer, top down, jiggling it into the frosting to hold it in place. Frost the top and sides of the cake - go sleek or swirly. If you're using decorations, scatter them over the cake. Chill for at least 1 hour (or for up to 1 day); bring to room temperature before serving.
