OLD FASHION THIN LAYER CHOCOLATE CAKE

1 box yellow cake mix

CHOCOLATE FROSTING:

2 c. sugar
5 tbsp. cocoa
1 (12 oz.) can evaporated milk
1 tsp. butter

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into 4 greased and floured pans. Dip 2 serving spoons of batter in each pan. Bake 2 layers at a time at 350 degrees until brown. Repeat process with remaining layers. Bake only a few minutes as the layers will be thin.
Prepare frosting by mixing all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Let come to a boil, stirring constantly. Boil for about 3 minutes. Turn heat down and let simmer. Cool. Stack cake layers like pancakes, spreading frosting between each layer. Spread remaining frosting on sides and top of cake.

If you've already poured the batter into four pans, how do you dip two serving spoons of batter into them? Are there more pans?
