Directions: |
Directions:1. In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to the creamed mixture alternately with water, beating well after each addition.
2. Transfer to four greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350º for 18-22 min. or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool cakes for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire rack to cool completely.
3. In a small bowl, beat the cream until it begins to thicken. Add 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and extract; beat until soft peaks form. In another bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream, then 3/4 crushed candies.
4. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, sprinkle remaining candies over the top. Garnish with chocolate curls if desired. |

Notes: To high when the cake is 4 layers. I make it three and there is plenty of frosting to cover both the cake and one single layer cake.
