  3. Beat 3 cups brown sugar and 1 1/2 cups butter in large bowl at medium speed 4 to 5 minutes or until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. At low speed, beat in flour mixture alternatively with chocolate mixture just until blended, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Divide batter between pans; smooth tops with spatula.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and cakes just begin to pull away from the sides of pans, rotating pans during last 5 minutes of baking if necessary. Cool in pans on wire rack 15 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire rack, remove parchment. Cool completely.
