Makes two 9-inch cakes (one 2- or 4-layer cake), 12 servings
to bake, plus cooling time
Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with
butter and cut rounds of parchment paper to fit the bottoms of
,
each pan.
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large work bowl of
the Cuisinart
powder, salt and sugars and pulse 10 times and then process for
20 seconds to sift.
Place the bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder and espresso
powder in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over ingredi-
ents and stir to combine; reserve.
With the machine running, slowly pour the butter through the feed
tube. Continue pouring the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla through
the feed tube until ingredients are just combined. Pour the
chocolate mixture evenly over the batter and pulse to completely
incorporate.
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake in
oven for 45 to 50 minutes, until a cake tester comes out just clean.

Let pans rest on cooling racks for 15 minutes. Remove cake from
pans but leave on the racks until completely cool. Once cool, cut
each layer in half horizontally to frost with Cream Cheese Frosting
and build a four-layer cake, or leave the layers whole to make a
thick two-layer cake.
