Chocolate Cake, I Just Love This One

• For the cake
• 2 1/2 cups loosely packed brown sugar
• 2 1/4 cups sifted flour
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3 eggs
• 3 unsweetened chocolate squares (80g, or 85% or higher)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup boiling water, and
• 1 pinch salt
• Butter cream frosting
• 1 lb butter (soft)
• 2 lbs icing sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk (as needed)

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
2. Melt chocolate in microwave (30 seconds at a time) or in a double boiler.
3. Grease two 9-inch cake pans.
4. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt.
5. In a separate larger bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter until light.
6. Add sugar and continue beating.
7. Add eggs one at a time, scraping bowl well after each addition.
8. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes.
9. Add vanilla and chocolate.
10. Stir in sifted dry ingredients alternately with sour cream (starting and ending with flour, i.e. add some flour, then some sour cream, then more flour -- etc).
11. Stir in boiling water.
12. Pour into pans.
13. Bake for 35 minutes (start testing for doneness after about 27 minutes; if there are a few moist crumbs on the tester, it's ok to take it out).
14. Cool in pans for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool completely before icing.
15. To make the frosting: Mix all the frosting ingredients together in mixer. Once it is well mixed, frost the cake generously.
