1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans.
Combine 1 cup butter with 1 cup sugar and 2 eggs. Mix gently until well blended. Stir in the vanilla extract and almond extract. Gently mix flour into the chocolate mixture. Fold in brown sugar and butter. Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 1 hour, or overnight. Allow to cool completely before frosting. To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, cream together the brown sugar, butter and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in flour until blended. Lay 1/3 of the frosting layer on top of cooled cake. Frost with remaining frosting layer.
