Chocolate Triple Layer Cake

Directions

Preheat oven.

Grease (or spray with non-stick cooking spray) three round cake pans.

In a small, heavy saucepan over lowest heat, melt chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth; be careful not to scorch.

Set aside. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt onto a sheet of wax paper.

In a large mixer bowl, w Stir in remaining dry ingredients just until well blended and smooth.

Divide batter among pans, spreading in edges.

Bake in the middle of the oven for 23 to 28 minutes, or until tops are almost firm when tapped and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist but clean.

Transfer pans to racks and let stand until completely cooled.
