directions

1. Prepare 2 - 8" round pans, with butter and flour.
2. Preheat oven 350.
3. Cake: In a mixer, beat first 7 ingredients in order, adding one at a time. Sift the dry ingredients. Fold in boiling water and chocolate chips. (Note: if you add the boiling water and the chips together, they will melt, but if you delay adding the chips for a couple of seconds, they will keep their form).
4. Bake for 25 minutes at or until cooked. Remove from pans and let cool on baking racks.
5. Incredible Icing: In a food processor, blend butter, sugar and cocoa for 4 seconds. Combine vanilla, milk and hot coffee and blend in just enough liquid until icing is smooth and silky.
