You may need:

Preheat oven to 350°F
Line 9x13 pan with nonstick foi.
Sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda into a large bowl.
Add sugar and salt.
Whisk in eggs, milk, oil and vanilla by hand.
Add water.
Pour into pan and bake approx 35-38 mins until cake tester comes out clean.
Let cool -then freeze so frosting the layers will be easier.
If making 2 layers, time very edge of cakes around all 4 sides. Layer the cakes with frosting between apply a crumb coat, chill and then frost the entire cake.

Beat butter until creamy.
Add cocoa and salt.
Add powdered sugar alternating with cream.
Pour in chocolate last on low until blended.
Finish by mixing with rubber spatula to remove air bubbles.
Once frosted use extra to pipe a ruffles around the edges. I used a 1M tip.
Lay white Kitkat bars across the top.
Trim a bit off the chocolate ones and lay on top.
I used a drop of meted chocolate to secure the chocolate bars on top of the white.
Top with a chocolate rose!
