DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE-ORANGE BUTTERCREAM - A subtle hint of lavender accents this lovely dessert.
Cake
4 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
1 1/2 cups (packed) golden brown sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 teaspoons dried lavender blossoms,* finely ground in spice mill
4 large eggs
Buttercream frosting
8 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
7 tablespoons (or more) water
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar, divided
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
Chocolate curls
For cake:
Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Butter and flour two 9-inch-diameter cake pans with 1 1/2-inch-high sides. Line bottoms of pans with parchment paper rounds. Stir chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until smooth. Remove from over water. Cool to barely lukewarm.
Sift flour and next 4 ingredients into medium bowl. Whisk milk and yogurt to blend in small bowl. Using electric mixer, beat brown sugar, butter, and lavender in large bowl until smooth. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time. Beat in melted chocolate until smooth. Mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk mixture in 3 additions each. Divide batter between prepared pans.
Bake cakes until tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cakes in pans on racks 15 minutes. Turn cakes out onto racks; remove parchment and cool completely.
For buttercream frosting:
Stir 8 ounces chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until smooth. Cool until barely lukewarm but still pourable. Mix cocoa powder and 7 tablespoons water in heavy small saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until smooth and thick but still pourable, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if necessary. Cool.
Beat butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and orange peel in large bowl to blend. Add melted chocolate, vanilla, and salt; beat until smooth. Beat in cocoa mixture. Gradually add remaining 3 2/3 cups powdered sugar and beat until frosting is smooth. Mix in Grand Marnier.
Place 1 cake layer on platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups frosting over top of cake. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake, swirling decoratively. Mound chocolate curls in center of cake. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with cake dome and refrigerate. Let cake stand at room temperature 2 hours before serving.)
*Dried lavender blossoms are available at natural foods stores and at some specialty foods stores and farmers' markets.

a chocolate cake in the shape of a pre-nup agreement would be classy
Designer cupcakes!
Something heart-shaped. Chocolate and strawberries are always romantic. You could decorate it with icing pictures of wedding bands or an icing picture of chapagne glasses. Have real champagne with it!
Make the cake look like an engagement ring. My wedding cake was shaped like two rings interlocked together. It was really nice.

I was the maid of honor at my best firend's wedding last weekend. Her engagement cake had the same colors as her wedding and looked similar to her wedding cake, but smaller. Do you know what your wedding cake will look like? just make a similar replica.
Standard white wedding cake,trimmed in coral color flowers, purple grapes, green leaves. classy, elegant unique, and add a dash of flavor to each color. It will be an engagement party everyone will remember the cake.
A tiered cake altering layers of chocolate and white cake!! On the chocolate layer have Bavarian creme filling and on the White cake have a chocolate mousse filling!!! YUMMY!!!!!
The reason for alternating flavors.....b/c at your actual wedding you usually have one white cake and one chocolate cake...so why not have both to celebrate and engagement?!!
