My best friends birthday is Wednesday and I want to make him a cake...and I'm drawing a complete blank!

He loves chocolate so I was thinking of using the chocolate version of the WASC cake. Any suggestions on fillings/frostings? I would prefer to use buttercream frosting. The only thing he doesn't like is coconut.

This will be the first time I've made a cake for him and his coworkers, so it has to be super impressive/professional looking

Thanks everyone for your help!!

Opps! Didn't see your post and just posted something similar lol! Maybe we can get some suggestions.

The Darn Good Chocolate Cake in the recipe section is great. It bakes so nice too. I made 1 10" round cake with it. Does he like fruit? You could fill with a fruit or a vanilla custard to cut some of the chocolate a bit. Or, get some cheesecake flavor Jello pudding mix and beat it with 2 cups heavy cream for a tasty filling.
