Chocolate layer cake in issue 96 (post #67251)

I am making the chocolate layer cake in issue 96.  I'm a bit confused by the cocoa percentages - I live in a rural area and the bittersweet that I am able to purchase is only 60% - recipe calls for 70-72%.  Semi-sweet package does not indicate the percentage.  What adjustments should I make in the recipe?

I don't have the recipe, but you should reduce sugar, for sure.

Semi-sweet is usually around 60%. Bittersweet is more like 70%. Have you thought of mail order?

By the way, that cake is amazing. I made it last week and everyone is still talking about it.

You really can find all of it on the baking aisle now--very complete selection that we NEVER had up until very recently.
