I made the cake up ahead of time so I could cool it and divide the layers. My cakes mounded in the middle so I was not able to get four flat layers, but I will try again paying more attention to how my batter is in my pans. I cut the topes of the cakes into cubes and built a chocolate cake pyramid with layers of whipped topping in between. This was my first taste of the cake at is was good...but I have had better...even from a box. Not that this was not a good cake because it is but I may add some chocolate chips or maybe infuse the cake with hot fudge or caramel.
This was my first successful attempt at making chocolate frosting (besides the jiffy just add water froting). 
I think watching as I put in the ingredients was half the fun.
I am using my Grandma's old mixer to do the frosting and it worked beautifully! The frosting was so creamy and spread nicely onto the cakes. I got a little taste of the frosting to see if it met my expectations. It reminds me of a creamy ganache rather than a super sugary frosting. I am excited to see what my co-workers say as they devour it.
Post Taste Test: I tried a sliver of the cake and it was really good. I got great reviews from my co-workers.
Absolutely phenomenal! It was rich but light all at the same time – almost like a mousse. I could eat it every day - thanks so much!
Very Good! Thanks and make more please.
I call this recipe combo a success. I was thinking of what I could do to make it even better!!! I thought about some fresh fruit and a dollop of whipped cream.
