Travis' 6 layer chocolate cake with whip cream and seven minute icing

Fudge Cake:
3 Squares chocolate-unsweetened, or 6 TBLS cocoa
1/2 c. Imperial Margarine
2 1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. real vanilla
2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 c. cake flour or flour sifted with 1-2 TBLS of corn starch
1 c. sour cream
1 c. boiling water

Beat margarine, sugar, and eggs on high speed.  Add vanilla and chocolate on low speed until smooth.  Add flour, soda and salt until just mixed in.  Add sour cream and boiling water until smooth.  Pour evenly into 3 spring form round pans 8-9 inches.  Bake at 350 degrees for at least 24 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

Whip Cream:
Beat heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until resembles frosting.

Seven minute icing:
3 egg whites, beaten to stand in stiff peaks
1 3/4 c. sugar
10 TBLS cold water
2 TBLS corn syrup
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla

Mix and cook over a double boiler, until thick, usually between 7 and 10 minutes, while continues beating with mixer.

Cut each cake in half, and put whip cream in between each layer, ending with frosting the whole cake with seven minutes icing.
