Chocolate buttercream cake from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (page 194) by Ina Garten

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    The cake took a bit longer to bake but turned out perfectly. I thought there would be too much frosting and there was (I froze the leftovers), but it's easier to frost with too much than barely enough. The first time I cooked the egg whites and had to start over. The second time worked great. With that in mind, the frosting was relatively easy to make and spread perfectly, with awesome taste and texture. I omitted the rum.
