Demonically Chocolate Cake (Part 1) - The Cake

My brother asked me to make him a "demon chocolate cake" for his birthday this year so this is what I have come up with.

Chocolate Layer Cake

Ingredients

2 sticks butter, at room temperature

1 ½ cups sugar

4 eggs (the eggs I used were small to medium in size)

2 cups sifted flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

¾ cup cocoa (I used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa)

1 ½ cups milk

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp coffee liqueur

1 tsp crème de cacao

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 9-inch cake pans. In a mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour and milk alternately to creamed mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and liqueurs and beat until combined. Divide batter equally among prepared pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in pans 5 to 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto cooling racks.

Thoughts
The cake is very moist and tender and is flavored quite well. Very dark from the dark cocoa and very very chocolate without being too sweet.
