Mostly in pencil, rarely in pen. Dense, fudgy coffee chocolate cake with rich, dark chocolate and coffee frosting topped with a mountain of chocolate malt balls. You might be all chocolated (yep, that's a word now) out now but I'm taking my chances because this cake, this glorious, four-tiered cake sandwiched with fudgy, coffee-flavoured chocolate frosting, is the most chocolatiest of chocolatey cakes. Using electric mixer, beat butter in large bowl until smooth. Vanilla: Adds the perfect amount of flavor to the cake.
