Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  4. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Melt unsweetened chocolate with hot water or coffee, then stir into the batter until smooth.
  6. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. While cakes bake, prepare the date filling: Simmer chopped dates, sugar, and evaporated milk in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened and sticky.
  8. Allow cakes to cool completely in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool entirely.
  9. Once cooled, spread the warm date filling evenly over the top of one cake layer.
  10. Place the second cake layer on top. Frost the entire cake with chocolate fudge frosting if desired.
