Ingredients
- two cans of all-purpose flour

- 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- salt
- 3/4 butter or margarine, softened
- 1 can packed brown sugar
- 1 can granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 can of low-fat buttermilk
How To Make It:
Step 1: Prepare the cake layers and preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease three 8 inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with waxed, grease paper. Dust with a layer of flour
Step 2: Mix flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt on a separate wax sheet. Combine at a low-speed butter and brown sugars until they are fully blended. Then increase the speed to high and beat for 5 minutes until its fluffy. Then reduce the speed to medium while adding the eggs, each at a time. Next, beat the batter very well. Add in vanilla and blend, then alternate between flour and buttermilk. Finish by beating it there is a smooth texture.
Step 3: Spread the batter amongst the pans and place them in the oven. Bake for about 22-25 minutes or until the toothpick you put in the center comes out without a scrape of sake. After it finishes baking, make sure to let the cakes cool for 10 minutes. Make sure the cake is at room temperature before frosting.
Step 4: While the cake is cooling you can work on the best part, the frosting. Take a small bowl and mix cocoa with boiling water and stir until its completely smooth. Then in a separate large bowl, on medium speed, beat the butter and sugar until its fluffy. Move to medium-low and add the melted chocolate, cocoa mixture and beat until fully smooth. If the frosting looks runny, you can leave it in the refrigerator.
Step 5: Putting the cake together. Place one cake on the bottom and spread 1/3 cup of frosting. Then, put the second cake bottom side up with another 1/3 frosting. Then put the last layer bottom side up and cover with the last remains of frosting.
Step 6: Make the actual frosting by combining 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa, 1/3 cup of boiling water, 2 stick of butter or margarine melted, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
