SHOTTS FUDGY CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE
After reading a brief article about the all-American chocolatier, Andrew Shotts, I wanted to try one of his decadent recipes that helped him earn his spot among the "Top 10 Artisanal Chocolatier" by USA Today. I can honestly say, hands down, this is the best chocolate cake I have ever made and probably will ever make. WARNING: If you are not a fan of incredibly moist and tender, rich but light, and fudgy but creamy chocolate cakes then this dessert is certainly NOT for you. If you are... then buckle your seat belt this is pure chocolate ecstasy. Use the highest quality chocolate and cocoa you can find. MAKE AHEAD: The cake will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days (covered). Bring to room temperature before slicing.

Steps:
- MAKE THE CAKE: Preheat the oven to 325°. Line bottoms of three 8" round pans with rounds of parchment paper. Spray pans and paper with vegetable cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs and vanilla.
- In another small bowl or glass measuring cup, melt the butter in the hot coffee.
- Using an electric hand mixer, beat half of the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients at low speed. Beat in half of the coffee mixture, scrape down the bowl. Beat in the remaining buttermilk and coffee mixtures.
- Pour the batter evenly into the pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the cakes are springy to the touch. Rotate pans halfway through baking. Let the cakes cool in pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. Peel off the parchment.
- MEANWHILE, MAKE THE FILLING AND FROSTING: Add chocolate to a large bowl. In a small saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil. Immediately pour over chocolate and let stand in a warm place for 5 minutes.
- Gently whisk the ganache until smooth. Whisk in butter until incorporated. Refrigerate, stirring frequently, until the ganache is thick enough to spread, about 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup, combine the sugar with the water and heat for 30 seconds; stir to dissolve.
- Set a cake layer on a cake plate or cake cardboard and brush lightly with the sugar syrup. Spread about 3/4 cup of the frosting onto the cake in an even 1/4" layer. Repeat with remaining layers, while stacking. Spread the remaining frosting around the sides of the cake.
- Let the cake stand at room temperature for an 1 hour or more before slicing.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350F. In a small saucepan, gently melt the 1 1/4 sticks of butter. Remove from heat and whisk in the milk, oil, and vanilla. Meanwhile, grease two 8-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with circles of parchment paper.
- Mix together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, then sift into a large bowl.
- Add the brown sugar and break up any lumps. Make a well in the center and add the butter mixture. Using a whisk, slowly mix the ingredients together, then give it a good beating until smooth and evenly blended. Using a spatula, divide the batter equally between the pans and spread it flat.
- Bake until the cakes are risen, firm, and have shrunk back slightly from the edges of the pans. Let cool in the pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
- Make the frosting: In a medium saucepan, stir the condensed milk and cream over low heat until it starts to bubble at the edges. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Let the chocolate melt, stirring and beating occasionally as it cools, until thick, fudgy, and completely cooled.
- Assemble the cake: On a cake plate lined with strips of parchment paper, sandwich the cakes together with 1/2 cup frosting. Spoon the remaining frosting over the top of the cake. Spread it out thickly, then, working on a quarter of the cake at a time, work the frosting over the edge of the cake and down to meet the plate. Try to keep going in one fluid movement. Repeat all over. Smooth and swirl the frosting as you like, or leave it rough.
- Let the cake sit somewhere cool for an hour (or up to a day) before slicing.

- Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Generously butter two 8-inch cake pans that are at least 2-inches high, and dust with cocoa powder, tapping the ramekins slightly to remove any excess.
- In a large bowl, place flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Mix until combined. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together eggs, oil, vanilla, buttermilk, and water. Whisk until smooth. Add egg mixture into flour mixture and mix until smooth. Don’t overbeat – batter will be lumpy at first, but mix gently and eventually stir with a whisk just until smooth. The batter will be very thin and liquid. That's ok.
- Scrape batter into prepared pans. Bake cakes for about 30-35 minutes (depending on your oven - this might take longer), or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before unmolding, then let cakes cool completely on a wire rack.
