Steps:
- In a medium sized bowl, add the number of eggs called for on the box plus one extra and beat well with a whisk. Add in melted butter in place of vegetable oil, milk in place of water, and beat until combined.
- Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds and stir. Then melt in 10 second increments, stirring after each one, until smooth. Fold melted chocolate into the batter being careful not to overmix.
- Grease and line 2 8" round cake pans and evenly distribute the batter between them.
- Bake according to the directions for your cake mix or until toothpick inserted in the center has a few crumbs.
- Allow cakes to cool completely in their pans. Once cakes are cool, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Place one cake bottom side down on your cake stand or board and spread 1/2 a container of frosting over the top. Place your second cake on top, bottom side up, and crumb coat the cake with a thin layer of frosting. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Once cake is chilled microwave the remaining fudge frosting for 15 to 20 seconds (you want it easy to spread not pourable!) and frost the cake using a cake scraper or large spatula.

OLD FASHIONED DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE (CAKE MIX DOCTOR)
This cake is delicious but truly it is "the icing on the cake" that makes it. Use the "Perfect Chocolate Frosting" and this cake will be perfect. Both the cake and icing recipes are from the Cake Mix Doctor cookbook.

Steps:
- Place rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350°F; grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
- Place the cake mix, cocoa, buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down sides. Increase the speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping sides if needed. The batter will look well combined. Divide the batter evenly between cake pans, smoothing with rubber spatula. Place pans side by side in oven.
- Bake the cakes until they spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, 28 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges and invert onto rack, and again until right side up and cool another 30 minutes.
