Hi all, I have a wedding cake due this weekend and one of the layers is chcoclate. I have had really bad luck with scratch chocolate cake recipes that taste rich and are sturdy enough to stack. This is for the bottom tier of a 3 tiered cake. Can anyone suggest a great recipe? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and feedback!

Use good chocolate, not chips, not stuff from the grocery store, good chocolate. And I brew strong coffee too.
Not sure WTH this website is jacking up my INTENDED link, but it is called AMAZING Chocolate WASC Cake

I recently made the "chocolate lover's dream cake", from this site, for one of the layers of my daughter's mini-wedding cakes. Everyone raved at how good the cakes were (I did not use the glaze).

I used the chocolate WASC, then made a simple syrup with coffee instead of water and brushed that on it - yummy!
It starts with a mix, but the Darn Good Chocolate Cake from this site is wonderful. I use hershey's syrup for the liquid instead of water or milk.

ditto, ditto, ditto......very good quality chocolate is essential! Love this one 
The Darn Good Chocolate cake recipe is by far the best chocolate cake I have had. I have made this cake so many time and everyone raves that it is the best chocolate cake they have ever tasted.

Oh yeah, it is just to die for. I chop up a bunch more chocolate and toss into the pans before I bake too. Holy moley....yum!!
I have made the darn good chocolate cake, a chocolate cake from another site and a chocolate WASC. The chocolate WASC was the sturdiest and easiest to work with for me. The darn good chocolate cake was slightly better tasting but wasn't as easy to handle.
I recommend the chocolate WASC based on sturdiness, and it tastes good too!
