Step 7 -Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached, about 40 minutes.

Step 9 -Carefully slice the cake in half horizontally.

Step 10 -Top 1 of the layers evenly with the chocolate frosting, then place the non-frosted layer on top of the frosting layer.
