Steps:
- Set-up a pan with about an inch of water and warm it to 160 degrees.
- Chop chocolate and place in a clean, dry, bowl that fits in the pan without touching the water, but is within an inch or so.
- Stir chocolate (with a clean, dry spoon) occasionally until almost melted.
- Remove from heat and continue stirring until smooth, the residual heat will finish the job.
- In a large bowl that will also fit over the pan with water (I use the bowl from my standing mixer), place eggs, cocoa, sugar and salt.
- Whisk lightly until blended.
- Turn heat up so water simmers, place the bowl with the egg mixture over the simmering water and whisk gently until the mixture reaches 165 degrees.
- 160 degrees is the instant kill temperature for salmonella and many other nasty bacteria.
- If you dont have an instant read thermometer, then the mixture should feel fairly warm, but not too hot.
- If you start to smell eggs cooking then youre too hot.
- (Its OK, so long as there are no actual egg chunks) Place the bowl on your mixer, or pour it into your mixer bowl, and, with a whisk attachment, beat at high speed until cooled to room temperature.
- I like to do this in the winter and open up a window next to my mixer.
- If you dont have a standing mixer, you can place your bowl in an ice bath and do it with a hand mixer on high speed.
- Lower speed on mixer to medium-low, add vanilla extract.
- Start adding butter one chunk at a time mix until each chunk is incorporated.
- When all butter is added whip on high speed for a minute or so.
- Turn off mixer, add chocolate and run on low speed until incorporated.
- Use immediately, keep at a cool room temperature for a day, refrigerate for a week, or freeze for 3 months.
- Re-whip before using.
DOUBLE FUDGE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 12 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on high speed until light, approximately 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla and mix well. Combine the buttermilk, sour cream, and coffee. On low speed, add the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture alternately in thirds, beginning with the buttermilk mixture and ending with the flour mixture. Mix the batter only until blended.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool to room temperature before frosting.
- Place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chips are completely melted. Off the heat, add the corn syrup and vanilla and allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the chocolate mixture and softened butter on medium speed for a few minutes, until it's thickened.
- Spread the frosting evenly on the cake. Have the children decorate the cake with M&M's.

FRENCH CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM
This is a very delicate, all butter, chocolate buttercream icing. My husband, who is not a sweets eater, requests this icing on an orange cake each year for his birthday. Try it and you won't be disappointed. Be sure the chocolate is cooled or you will end up with a sauce instead of an icing.

Steps:
- Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil while stirring to dissolve the sugar.
- Continue to boil until the syrup reaches a temperature of 240 degrees F (115 C) While the syrup is boiling, beat the yolks with a wire whip or the whip attachment of a mixer until they are thick and light in color.
- As soon as the syrup reaches 240 F, pour it very slowly (in a thin stream) into the beaten yolks while whipping constantly.
- Continue to beat until the mixture is completely cool and the yolks are very thick and light.
- Whip in the butter a little at a time.
- Add it just as fast as it can be absorbed by the mixture.
- Beat in the vanilla.
- If the icing is too soft, refrigerate it until it is firm enough to spread.
- Chocolate: Melt 3 oz sweet chocolate and cool slightly (chocolate must not be too cool or it will solidify before completely blending with the buttercream).
- Blend with about one quarter of the buttercream, then blend this mixture into the rest.
- For very sweet buttercreams, use 1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate instead of the sweet chocolate.
