Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare two 9-inch baking pans by greasing them well.

Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl.

Add eggs individually, continuing to beat well after each one.

Add vanilla and chocolate and mix well.

In a separate bowl, mix together dry ingredients.

Add half of the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, followed by the sour cream, coffee, and water. Beat well.

Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix.

Divide the batter into the two prepared pans and bake for 30 minutes. Don’t forget to test with a toothpick to make sure your cakes are done.

Cool the cakes in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to cooling racks until completely cooled.

Melt butter and chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool. In a separate bowl, beat powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Add chocolate mixture slowly, continuing to mix until desired texture is achieved. If frosting is too thick, you can add milk in small increments to thin it out. If it is too thin, add more powdered sugar.

Frost cake once cooled, then share it with someone you love. Or hate … your call.
