V's Chocolate Coma Cake Triple Layer

I wanted to make my dh a special chocolate cake for his birthday this year and a box cake mix wasn't gonna due. Although i often kick-up cake mixes i decided to create a cake just for him and go the extra mile. Warning: this cake is not for dieters, it is packed with lots of love and will be my special occasion cake from now on. My boys loved it so much, they are already requesting it for their birthdays! :) another thumbs up by the family!
