2 c Firmly packed brown sugar

34 Semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 c Dark corn syrup
1 1/2 lb Semisweet chocolate; chopped
1/2 ts Peppermint extract
Fresh mint leaves
For Cake: Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter two 9-inch square cake pans with
2-inch-high sides. Line bottoms with waxed paper. Butter and flour waxed
paper. Bring 3/4 cup water to simmer in saucepan. Place cocoa in small
bowl. Gradually whisk in hot water. Whisk in buttermilk and extract. Mix
flour and baking soda in medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter in
large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until light. Add eggs
1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add dry ingredients
alternately with cocoa-buttermilk mixture in 2 batches each, beating just
until combined.
Divide batter between prepared cake pans. Sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Bake until tester inserted into center of each cake comes out with some
moist crumbs attached, about 20 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 15
minutes. Run small sharp knife around pan sides to loosen cakes. Turn out
cakes onto foil-lined racks. Carefully peel paper from cakes and cool
completely. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate.)
For Frosting: Bring whipping cream and corn syrup to simmer in heavy large
saucepan. Reduce heat to low. Add chocolate; whisk until smooth and melted.
Stir in peppermint extract. Refrigerate until mixture just thickens to
spreading consistency, stirring frequently, about 2 hours.
Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread 2 cups frosting over. Top with second
cake layer. Using icing spatula, spread remaining frosting in thick
decorative swirls over top and sides of cake. (Can be prepared 8 hours
ahead; cover with cake dome and let stand at room temperature.) Garnish
cake with mint leaves.
