BUTTERCREAM:
1 c UNSALTED BUTTER -- SOFTENED
2 c SIFTED CONFECTIONER'S SUGAR
1 c SIFTED COCOA POWDER
1/3 c GODIVA LIQUEUR
CAKE:
2 c SIFTED FLOUR
1 t BAKING SODA
1/4 ts SALT
6 oz UNSALTED BUTTER
1 1/3 c SUGAR
3 lg EGGS
3 oz UNSWEETENED CHOCOLATE --
MELTED
1 c BUTTERMILK
1 c GODIVA LIQUEUR -- DIVIDED
SHAVED CHOCOLATE

For the buttercream, cream the butter until smooth.
Sift the sugar and cocoa
powder over the butter, add 1/3 cup of Godiva Liqueur
and slowly mix until smooth.
For the cake, sift together the flour, baking soda and
salt; set aside. Cream the butter and sugar and add
the eggs one at a time, beating after each
addition. On low speed, stir in the chocolate and
gradually add the reserved
sifted ingredients in three additions, alternating
with the buttermilk and 1/2
cup of Godiva Liqueur, beat until smooth. Divide the
batter among three greased and floured 9-inch cake
pans. Bake in preheated 375 degrees oven for
25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle of
the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and
cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then invert
onto a rack to completely cool. Chill the layers in
the freezer for about 30
minutes, until firm.
To assemble the cake, remove the cake layers from the
freezer and brush with
the remaining Godiva Liqueur before spreading 3/4 cup
of buttercream between
each layer. Spread the remaining buttercream over the
top and sides of the cake, which has been placed on a
serving plate. Serve immediately, or refrigerate if
necessary. If refrigerating, remove 1 hour prior to
serving. Garnish with shaved chocolate. Serves twelve.
