Ingredients

* 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

* 3 tablespoons sugar

* 1 teaspoon salt

* 1-3/4 cups milk

* 1 cup chocolate syrup

* 1 egg, lightly beaten

* 1 tablespoon butter

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* BATTER:

* 1/2 cup butter, softened

* 1-1/4 cups sugar

* 4 eggs

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

* 1/3 cup baking cocoa

* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

* 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 1-1/2 cups chocolate syrup

* 1/2 cup water

* FROSTING:

* 2 cups heavy whipping cream

* 1/4 cup chocolate syrup

* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Directions:

For filling, in a small saucepan, combine flour, sugar and salt. Stir in milk and syrup until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.

Remove from heat. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Cool to room temperature, stirring often.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with syrup and water. Beat just until combined.

Pour into two greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks to cool.

Cut each cake in half horizontally. Place one bottom layer on a serving plate; spread with a third of the filling. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake. In a mixing bowl, beat frosting ingredients until stiff peaks form; spread or pipe over top and sides of cake. Yield: 16 servings.
