For the Double Chocolate Cake we used a favorite of ours:
Milliken & Feniger’s Buttermilk Chocolate Cake
We made it in two layers and as an extra special addition of chocolate richness, we made a sauce from 1/2 C. best quality chocolate nuggets melted with 2 T. decafe coffee and 1 T. super fine sugar. When the cakes were done & cooled we pierced them with a wooden skewer all over the top and then poured on the sauce so that it would slowly melt down into the cakes to create a moist, super chocolate effect.
