Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line bottoms of two 9 inch
round cake pans with waxed paper. Greased paper and sides of pans. Dust with flour. Mix
flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and
brown sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well
after each addition. Add Watkins Vanilla.
At low speed, alternately beat flour mixture and buttermilk into butter mixture just until
blended. Divide batter equally between prepared pans. Bake cakes until a toothpick
inserted in center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer pans to wire rack to cool
for 10 minutes. Turn out onto racks. Remove paper. Turn layers top-side up and cool
completely.
To prepare frosting, beat butter and confectioners' sugar
at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; continue beating
until shiny and smooth.
Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with
frosting. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread frosting on top and sides of cake. Let
cake stand for at least 30 minutes before sprinkling with Chocolate shavings and slicing.
Makes 12 servings.
