2 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2½ Squares (2 1/2 Ounces) Unsweetened Baking Chocolate Broken
Into Pieces
¾ cup (6 Ounces) Butter Or Margarine, Softened
2 cups Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 larges Eggs
2¼ cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1¼ teaspoon Baking Soda
½ teaspoon Salt
1⅓ cup Water

Directions

Yield: 10 To 12 Servings

Pre-heat the oven to 350 Degrees F. In a small microwave safe bowl, place the chocolate and microwave on HIGH (100 %) power for 1½ to 2 minutes or until smooth when stirred; set aside to cool slightly.

Grease and flour two 9 inch round baking pans. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and cooled chocolate blending well. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt; add alternately with the water to the chocolate mixture beating well after each addition.

Pour the batter evenly into the 2 prepared pans.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pans and remove from the pans and place on a rack to finish cooling. When the layers are completely cool, frost with any desired frosting.
