Ingredients
  • 2 cup Flour
  • 2/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 3/4 cup Unsalted butter or margarine
  • 2 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup Buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  2. 2
    Grease three 8-inch round cake pans and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
  3. 3
    In a small bowl, whisk together flour, Dutch-processed cocoa, and baking soda.
  4. 4
    In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. 5
    Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  6. 6
    Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat well after each addition until just combined.
  7. 7
    Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
  8. 8
    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the center springs back when touched.
  9. 9
    Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
  10. 10
    For the filling, combine sweetened condensed milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, water, and vanilla in a heavy saucepan.
  11. 11
    Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
  12. 12
    Remove from heat and allow filling to cool completely until thickened enough to spread.
  13. 13
    Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread half of the cooled fudge filling over the top.
  14. 14
    Top with a second cake layer and spread the remaining fudge filling over it.
  15. 15
    Place the third cake layer on top.
  16. 16
    For the frosting, beat confectioners sugar, softened butter, melted unsweetened chocolate, vanilla, and half-and-half in a mixing bowl until light and creamy.
  17. 17
    Frost the top and sides of the assembled cake with the chocolate buttercream.
  18. 18
    Garnish the top with shaved white chocolate.
