Mary gave me this recipe many chocolate cakes ago, and it is still our favorite.
Mary's Chocolate Cake
Boil together in the microwave:
2 sticks butter (1 cup)
1 C. water
4 T. cocoa
Beat in 2 eggs.
Add:
2 C. sugar
2 C. flour
1/2 t. salt
1 t. soda
Stir in 3/4 C. sour cream. Don't beat too much.
Bake at 375° in preferred shape until toothpick comes out clean. Use these approximate times
Two heart pans -- 25 minutes
Two 8"or 9" pans -- 35 minutes
9" x 13" sheet pan -- 30 minutes
jelly roll pan -- 20 minutes
Cupcakes (Use paper cupcake liners -- the recipe makes about 24) -- 20 minutes
Icing
Melt a package of milk chocolate chips with a piece of butter. Watch so chocolate doesn't burn! Beat in powdered sugar and half and half. The more sugar and cream you add, the more icing you get. It's also better, I think.
