For the cake portion I followed Sally's Baking Addiction recipe for her triple chocolate cake. The frosting is a chocolate ermine frosting that I kinda made up as I went along to get the level of chocolateliness I wanted.
Ermine frosting:
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
Dash of salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
Combine milk, sugar, salt and flour in a small pot. Heat until mixture is thick and pudding like. I then removed from heat and melted 1oz of baking chocolate into it. Cool in fridge.
Whip butter until it is light then whip in the cooled flour pudding. Add cocoa powder and vanilla and whip until combined and light. Can add more cocoa if desired, I melted an addition oz of baking chocolate and mixed it in for more chocolate flavor.
