I had to share this recipe for a triple layered chocolate cake. Lon says it's the best chocolate cake I've ever made and I agree. My guests loved it and my friend Monica took some home to her parents and they loved it too. Many thanks to Sandy who posted this recipe!! I foresee using this as a birthday cake many many times.

I did lower the amount of sugar in the frosting to 3 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar (which is one standard box) because I always do. Most frostings are too sweet for me and this adjustment was perfect. Trust me; it was still very sweet. I also recommend using Pam non-stick spray on the cake pans which lets the cakes out perfectly.

Besides the fact that this cake has great flavor and an amazingly moist texture, I just love that each cake comes out so level so you don't have to cut and level the cake. There's no loose crumbs either, which makes it super easy to frost and you won't need a crumb layer.
