Chocolate Creme Cake

Cake recipe: Paula's 1-2-3-4 Cake 
Frosting recipe: "Best Ever Butter Cream Frosting"
Chocolate filling: This was actually an experiment that turned out pretty well. I asked Jessica what she thought would happen if I mixed melted chocolate with powdered sugar and a little bit of Crisco. Her answer: "Perfection." It turned out to be almost like molding chocolate; I plopped it in there, and it worked.

The cake was rich and delicious, though I think I have a problem with cakes from scratch. Whenever I make them, they turn out very dense. I know the mixing techniques affect cake batters, and that you want to reduce the amount of air you put into them; does anyone know what the best way to ensure light and fluffy cake is?

Great mixture of recipes; the frosting was definitely the best.
