Instructions
  1. Cake
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  5. Bake cake at 350 for about 35 minutes. Check with a cake tester or toothpick to make sure cake is done. Cool cakes.
  6. Frosting
  7. Heat 1/2 cup of the whipping cream in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  8. Put cocoa into mixing bowl and pour warm whipped cream over. Beat together using the whip attachment. Let cool.
  9. When cocoa mixture is cool add butter and whip for several minutes. This mixture is going to be very thick. Slowly add remaining 1/2 cup whip cream. Add the salt and 4 cups of the confectionary sugar. Beat for several minutes scrapping down the sides of the bowl. Add another cup of the sugar and continue to beat. Beat for about 5 minutes adding remaining sugar if necessary to get the frosting to spreading consistency.
