Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, or spray with baking spray with flour. In large bowl, beat cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pans.
2 Bake and cool as directed on box for 8-inch rounds. Refrigerate layers about 45 minutes for easier handling. Trim off rounded top of one layer. Slice each cake layer in half horizontally to make a total of 4 layers. Reserve untrimmed top layer.
3 In medium microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips uncovered on Medium (50%) 4 to 5 minutes, stirring halfway through microwave time. Stir until smooth; cool 5 minutes. Stir in frosting until well blended. Place 1 cake layer bottom, cut side up, on serving plate; spread with about 3/4 cup of the frosting. Repeat with second and third cake layers. Top with reserved cake layer, cut side down; frost with remaining frosting. Store loosely covered.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Splitting cake layers is easy. Insert toothpicks around side of cake layer to mark middle point. Using toothpicks as a guide, cut through the layer with a long, thin, sharp knife.

For a double-chocolate cake, use semisweet chocolate chips instead of the white chips and Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy chocolate frosting instead of the vanilla frosting.

I was looking for an easy yet impressive version of a red velvet cake for a friend's birthday party and this absolutley fit the bill. There were a few things I was leery about, it being my first time trying this recipe (i.e. using German Chocolate mix, the entire bottle of coloring, and the texture the white chocolate would make the frosting), but my fears were totally put at bay when I had EVERYONE who tried the cake tell me it was the best cake they had eaten (literally, everyone LOVED it). I followed the recipe to the letter, and all was good in the world. I highly recommend for an impressive yet simple cake!
