Copycat Olive Garden Chocolate Lasagna

I made this copycat recipe for Olive Garden Chocolate Lasagna (chocolate layer cake). I cut the recipe in half and still ended up with a HUGE cake. Personally I think the ratios are a bit off. I think it needs less cake and more frosting/filling. The frosting however was fantastic and I would probably use that recipe for it again in the future. For the frosting I did substitute in mostly real butter and a little bit of butter flavor shortening rather than all shortening. As for the cake itself, I am not sure if I would make it again. A boxed cake mix would be just as tasty, and easier, and maybe a little more moist.
