Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1 3/4 cups sifted flour
1/2 cup dark cocoa or cocoa
2 baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 cups packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
1 tbsp coffee liqueur or strong coffee
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 (8 oz) container sour cream
3/4 cup boiling water
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE (recipe follows)
CHOCOLATE FROSTING (recipe follows)
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour 2 (9 inch) round cake pans. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside. Beat brown sugar and butter in large bowl on low to medium speed of mixer until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in coffee liqueur or coffee and vanilla. Add flour mixture and sour cream alternately to sugar mixture, beating after each addition just until combined. Stir in boiling water until blended. Pour into prepared pans. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted near centers comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
Prepare CHOCOLATE MOUSSE. Split each cake layer horizontally to make four layers total. Place one layer on serving plate; spread with one-third of the mousse (about 1 cup). Repeat layering with two of the remaining layers and remaining mousse. Place remaining cake layer on top. Prepare CHOCOLATE FROSTING; frost cake top and sides. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. 16 to 20 servings.
CHOCOLATE MOUSSE: Place 2 cups chocolate chips in a food processor bowl; cover and process until finely ground. Mix 1/3 cup whipping cream and 3 tbsp granulated sugar in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is just boiling. With food processor running, pour hot cream through feed tube, processing 10 to 20 seconds or until chocolate is completely melted. Scrape side of food processor bowl. Add 1/4 cup coffee liqueur or strong coffee and 1 tbsp vanilla extract through feed tube; process 10 to 20 seconds or until smooth. Pour into large bowl; cool about 10 minutes or until mixture is room temperature. Beat 1 cup whipping cream in chilled medium bowl on high speed of mixer just until soft peaks form. Fold whipped cream into chocolate mixture. Cover; refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Makes about 3 cups.
CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Stir together 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners sugar and 2/3 cup sifted dark cocoa in medium bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups whipping cream and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Beat on low speed of mixer until stiff peaks form, scraping side of bowl constantly. (Mixture will be very stiff.) By hand, stir in milk, one tbsp at a time, to make desired spreading consistency. Makes about 3 cups.
