Granny Horn made this chocolate cake for every birthday and special occasion. For years I (Beth) have tried to duplicate it and have a bit of Granny. I now make this cake for almost every birthday celebration and never need a special occasion as an excuse to enjoy this 4 layered chocolate, coffee chocolate icing cake!
1 chocolate box cake mix
1lb bag of confectioners sugar
unsweetened baking cocoa - add enough to have a rich chocolate color
vanilla-a tsp or 2, I just do it to taste
butter-1 stick
dash of day old coffee
water-add water as needed to desired consistency. I like my icing a medium consistency to coat and a much thicker consistency to decorate with.
Prepare cake per instructions on box. Use two, 9in round baking pans. When cake is cooled, use a serrated knife to level top and then to divide each cake in half. This will give you 4 equal layers. Generously ice in between each layer and decorate as you desire.
