       3/4 c  Butter; softened   
     6 3/4 c  Confectioners' sugar   
         2 ts Vanilla extract   
       2/3 c  Milk   
         2 tb Miniature semisweet   
              - chocolate chips   
       
     In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely   
     simmering water, melt chocolate and 3 tablespoons   
     butter; stir until smooth. Cool to room temperature.   
        
     Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC.   
        
     Line bottoms of 3 greased 8" round baking pans with   
     parchment; grease parchment.   
        
     In a large bowl, cream remaining butter and sugar until   
     light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well   
     after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Whisk flour,   
     baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture   
     alternately with sour cream, beating well after each   
     addition.   
        
     Remove 2 cups batter to a small bowl; stir in cooled   
     chocolate mixture and, if desired, chocolate chips,   
     until blended. Drop plain and chocolate batters by   
     tablespoonfuls into prepared pans, dividing batters   
     evenly among pans. To make batter level in pans, tap   
     several times on counter.   
        
     Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out   
     clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes before   
     removing to wire racks; remove parchment. Cool   
     completely.   
        
     For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until smooth.   
     Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar, vanilla and   
     enough milk to reach desired consistency.   
        
     If cake layers have rounded tops, trim with a serrated   
     knife to make level. In a microwave, melt chocolate   
     chips; stir until smooth. Cool slightly.   
        
     Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1/2   
     cup frosting. Repeat layers. Top with remaining cake   
     layer. Frost top and sides of cake.   
        
     Drop cooled chocolate by 1/2 teaspoonfuls over frosting.   
     Using a large offset spatula, smear chocolate to create   
     a marble design in frosting.
