THE CAKE:
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Grease and flour two 9" round pans. (I line the bottoms with parchment or wax paper because I'm paranoid, but not necessary).
- Melt chocolate in microwave and set aside to cool.
- Mix flour, soda, and salt and set aside.
- Beat the margarine in a mixer until it's soft
- Add brown sugar and eggs and beat until light and fluffy (about 5 min.).
- Beat in vanilla and cooled melted chocolate.
- Mix in sour cream and dry ingredients alternately, and then beat well.
- Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin and runny).
- Pour batter into pans evenly, and bake at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes, or until toothpick comes out cleanly.
- Allow to cool on a rack for 10 minutes, and then remove from pans.
- Allow cakes to cool completely, and then frost.
-
SUPER FUDGEY FROSTING:
- Melt chocolate and butter together ( I microwave it) and allow to cool
- Combine milk, vanilla, and confectioner's sugar in a mixer and mix on low.
- Add melted butter and chocolate.
- Whip until frosting is of spreading consistency.(If butter/chocolate mixture is still warm, it takes a bit of time to set up).
