If you are looking for death by chocolate cake, this is it! I had it at the Claim Jumper in Denver Colo and one tier of a slice is enough for me. Excellent.

CHOCOLATE MOTHERLODE CAKE
Claim Jumper

6 whole eggs
3 cups sugar
6 tablespoon butter (softened)
3 cups vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

4 1/2 tsp baking powder
4 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 6 (8-inch) round cake pans.

Add the first seven ingredients into a mixing bowl mixing well between each addition.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into the ingredient in the mixing bowl.

Fold the boiling water into the ingredients above. Pour batter equally into prepared pans and add 1/2 cup chocolate chips into each pan.

Wrap and place the cake rounds in the freezer.

Remove and ice the rounds with chocolate cake frosting.
