Yield 20 (2-inch) squares

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 (1-ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, melted in 2/3 cup boiling water
------------------------------
CHOCOLATE FROSTING:
1/2 cup margarine
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup milk
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°. Cream butter and sugar with electric beater until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Sift flour with salt. Mix soda with buttermilk and add alternately with flour to creamed mixture, starting and ending with flour. Add vanilla and melted chocolate with water; stir until smooth. Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Pour batter into pan and bake 50-55 minutes. Cool in the pan. While slightly warm, frost with Chocolate Frosting. The cake freezes well. Chocolate Frosting: In a heavy saucepan, cook margarine, sugar, and milk to a full rolling boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add chocolate pieces and nuts. Blend quickly. Beat until a spreading consistency. (It won't take more than a minute or two.) Spread at once over chocolate cake.

This cake was a complete disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and the frosting was grainy. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This cake was a bit dry and the frosting was too runny. I think I would need to adjust the recipe next time.
