It took a while to find this recipe;

THE MOST AMAZING CHOCOLATE 3-LAYER CAKE

FOR THE CAKE:
Butter and flour for coating and dusting the cake pans
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups warm water (or warm coffee)
1/2 cups vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

FOR THE CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING:*
1 1/2 cups butter - softened
8 ounces cream cheese - softened
1 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
7 to 8 cups powdered sugar
About 1/4 cup milk - as needed

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. butter three 9-inch cake rounds. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.

2. Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a stand mixer using a low speed until combined.

3. Add eggs, buttermilk, warm water, oil, and vanilla. Beat on a medium speed until smooth. This should take just a couple of minutes.

4. Divide batter among the three pans. I found it took just over 3 cups of the batter to divide it evenly.

5. Bake for 20-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool on wire racks for 15 minutes and then turn out the cakes onto the racks and allow to cool completely.

7. Frost with your favorite frosting and enjoy!

*Note: Some of the reviews said the frosting melts easily.
