This cake tastes like a Hostess Cupcake! I think the secret is the coffee. You can't taste it at all but makes it amazing. Can be frosted with Chocolate Buttercream (recipe included here) or a Ganache. Or even with the Marshmallow Filling/Frosting!
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Line bottom of two 9-inch cake pans with wax paper and grease the paper and edges of pan with butter.
Chop chocolate if not using chips. Combine in a bowl with hot coffee. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.
In a large bowl sift together sugar, flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a large gown with an electric mixer beat eggs until thickened slightly, about 3 minutes with a stand mixer or 5 min with hand-held mixer. Slowly add oil, buttermilk, vanilla and melted chocolate mixture, beating until well combined.
Add dry ingredient mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined well.
Divide batter between pans and bake in middle of over 55 min to 1 hour until center comes out clean.
Cool layers completely in pan. Run a knife around edge of pans and invert layers onto racks. Carefully remove wax paper. This cake is really moist and fragile!!!
MARSHMALLOW FILLING (can use as filling or also to frost cake. Halve recipe for filling):
Combine butter, marshmallow cream and vanilla in a bowl. Beat on medium speed until well blended. Gradually add sugar. Blend in 1 tablespoon mil. Add more if necessary.
DEEP CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
Beat sugar, cocoa powder and vanilla. Gradually add milk and beat until smooth.
Layers can be made a day ahead if wrapped well, at room temp. The marshmallow filling makes A LOT. I included the whole recipe, which is enough to fill AND frost a cake. If you are just using as filling (as I do) use half the recipe.
