Death By Chocolate
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Hershey™s Cocoa or Hershey™s Special Dark Cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water1 jar Hot Fudge ice cream topping
2 containers whipped chocolate frosting
1 large Hershey™s Milk Chocolate Bar
1 large Hershey™s Special Dark Chocolate Bar
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans or one 13—9×2-inch baking pan.
2. Stir together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of electric mixer 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.
3. Bake 30-35 minutes for round pans, 35-40 minutes for rectangular pan or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely. (Cake may be left in rectangular pan, if desired.)
Carefully cut each round into 2 layers, so there are 4 cake layers altogether. Use half jar of Hot Fudge on bottom layer of cake, add next cake layer- frost with whipped frosting, add third cake layer- use remaining Hot Fudge, add last cake layer. Frost top and sides with whipped frosting.
Take vegetable peeler and shave both chocolate bars. Carefully coat top and sides of cake.

I’ve been thinking about using Caramel sauce or Peanut Butter sauce instead of Hot Fudge for something new.
