Which brand of cocoa powder and what's your recipe?Unpretentious Baker is the brand. I chose it because it was cheap. I had to order if on the Internet because I couldn't find any stores in town that sell black cocoa powder. Here's the recipe (I used whole milk):
The frosting scared me. It came out having no flavor and being too stiff. But then I realized I could fix both problems by adding more whipping cream. And it actually did end up tasting a lot like Oreo cream.

I turned the second layer upside-down for the super sharp edge:

I kinda dropped the ball right at the finish line though. The dark cocoa frosting on the outside doesn't actually look or taste very good. If I were to make this cake again, I think I'll do a dark chocolate ganache for the outside (but keep the frosting on the inside. Anyway, here's the finished product (I can never get the frosting very smooth; oh well):

Well, almost finished. I managed to scrape a little more frosting out of the bowl to fill in some of those kinda visible thin spots.
Anyway, I'll report tomorrow on how everyone likes it.
Is the frosting in the middle different than the outside?Yes, but only in a pretty small way. I made both in a single batch, and after putting the center frosting in, I added some black cocoa powder to the rest to frost the outside.
