4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1/2 cup cake flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt chocolate over boiling water. Add 1 cup sugar and 1/2 cup buttermilk and stir over boiling water until sugar is dissolved. Cool.
Sift flour once. Add baking powder, soda, and salt and sift together three times.
Cream butter thoroughly.
Add 3/4 cup sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and beat well.
Add about 1/4 of flour mixture, mixing thoroughly.
Add chocolate mixture and blend.
Add remaining flour, alternately with buttermilk, a small amount at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in vanilla.
Bake in greased 15x9x2-inch pan at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes, or until cake is done. When cold, trim edges, cut in half crosswise, and put together as a two-layer cake, matching edges carefully. Spread tops and sides with Fudge Frosting.
