What is the recipe for Chocolate Loving Spoon Cake?

I had this cake at McAlister's Deli. It is so rich, and it seems that some of the layers are made of some sort of soft fudge? It was served cold. Anyone know how to make it?What is the recipe for Chocolate Loving Spoon Cake?
I'll bet this is it.








Chocolate Pudding Cake





This makes a nice cake layer that magically floats atop a layer of warm, fudge pudding!





3/4 cup granulated sugar


1 cup plain flour


1/4 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons of baking powder


2 Tablespoons cocoa


½ cup milk


1 teaspoon of vanilla


3 Tablespoons melted, cooled, margarine





Sift sugar, flour, salt, baking powder and cocoa together in bowl. Stir in milk, margarine and vanilla. Batter will look like brownie batter. Spread batter into greased baking dish (Pyrex bowl or 9”x13” dish).





TOPPING:


½ cup of granulated sugar


½ cup brown sugar


1/4 cup cocoa





Mix topping sugars and cocoa together and sprinkle dry ingredients over batter. Pour 1 ½ cups of tap water over all. DO NOT STIR.





Place in oven and bake at 350ºF for 45 minutes or until topping is done. (In the baking process, ingredients will reverse themselves - finished product will look like a brownie on top and have chocolate pudding on bottom.)





Serve in bowls with spoons. Serves 6-8 people. Good with vanilla ice cream or cool whip.What is the recipe for Chocolate Loving Spoon Cake?

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar


1 3/4 cups sour cream

Peperation





Make cake layers:


Preaheat oven to 375°F. Butter and flour two 9- by 2-inch round cake pans, knocking out excess flour.





In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth, and cool.





In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Bet in sour cream and vanilla until combined. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well with after each addition.





In a bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt and gradually add to sour cream mixture, beating until just combined. Beat in chocolate until batter is just combined and divide between pans.





Bake layers in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool layers in pans on rack 10 minutes and invert onto racks to cook completely.





Make filling/frosting:


In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt chocolate, stirring until smooth, and cool to room temperature. In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together sour cream, heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until thickened. Beat in chocolate until combined.





Make glaze:


In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water, melt chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth, and cool.





Assemble cake:


With a long serrated knife halve cake layers horizontally. Stack layers on a cake plate, spreading 1 cup filling/frosting between each layer. Spread side of cake with remaining filling/frosting.





Pour glaze on top of cake, spreading to just cover top, and coat side with chocolate chips and shavings, pressing them in gently.
FOR THE CAKE:


1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder


1 cup milk


2 1/4 cups cake flour


1 teaspoon baking powder


1 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup unsalted butter


1/4 cup shortening


2 cups white sugar


3 eggs


2 teaspoons vanilla extract


FOR THE FILLING:


2/3 cup white sugar


2 tablespoons cornstarch


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 1/2 cups milk


3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


FOR THE FROSTING:


4 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted


1/2 cup unsalted butter


1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


3 eggs (pasteurized egg product to equal 3 eggs)


3 cups confectioners' sugar





TO MAKE THE CAKE:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch pans.





Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and 1/2-teaspoon salt. Set aside.





In a separate small bowl, gradually stir 1-cup milk into 1/3 cup of cocoa, then whisk until the mixture is smooth.





In a large bowl, cream together 1/2-cup butter, 1/4 cup shortening and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add 3 eggs one at a time, beating well with each addition, then stir in 1-teaspoon vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixture; beat well. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pans.





Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the layers shrink from the sides of the pans and the tops spring back when gently pressed with a fingertip. The cake is dense and moist, so be careful not to over-bake it. Cool the layers in the pans for 10 minutes then carefully invert them onto the racks and cool completely.





TO MAKE THE FILLING:


In a small bowl, whisk together 2/3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 teaspoon salt.





In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 1/2 cups milk with sugar mixture. Add 3 squares chopped chocolate, and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil until the mixture is thick and bubbly, about 3 minutes.





Remove from the heat, and stir in 1-teaspoon vanilla. Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface, to keep the pudding from forming a skin. Refrigerate until cool.





TO MAKE THE FROSTING:


In a medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and 3 eggs until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar two tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the melted chocolate until well blended. Refrigerate for 15 minutes while you fill the cake.





TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:


Using a long serrated knife, slice each layer in half horizontally, making 4 layers. Spread the filling between 3 of the layers of cake. Frost cake with the frosting, and then crumble the remaining cake layer. Stick crumbs to the entire frosted surface of the cake. Sprinkle any leftover crumbs over the top of the cake.





Store in a cool place, and serve within 24 hours.





Enjoy!
