Velvet Devil's Food Layer Cake with Coffee Buttercream
NOTE: The
texture of this cake is both soft and dense, similar to a chocolate
pound cake, only softer and lighter. The flavor intensely
chocolate, yet pleasantly sweet. The rich coffee buttercream stands
up to the dense texture of the cake and balances the rich chocolate
flavor. If desired, coat the side of the frosted cake with finely
shaved bittersweet chocolate, as in figures 16 and 17.
