THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE (REALLY!)
I made this cake for my little brother's 12th birthday with the request of a chocolate cake. It was truly amazing- weeks later my family (nonetheless after being stuffed with a huge dinner and dessert) was still talking about how fabulous the cake was! Nice and moist and the frosting...oooh. Recipe for a 9"x13" pan, but can be made as a wonderful layer cake. Prep time includes cooling and frosting (with some extra leeway). From www.donogh.com

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Melt chocolate, either on the stove or in the microwave and set aside.
- Beat butter in large mixer bowl then add brown sugar and eggs, and beat until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add vanilla and melted chocolate, and beat to combine.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and salt and add to chocolate mixture gradually, alternating with sour cream, beating after each addition.
- Stir boiling water into the batter - the batter will be thin.
- Pour into two 9 inch round cake pans which have been greased and floured.
- Bake for 35 minutes, until cake centre springs back when touched.
- Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans. Allow to cool completely before applying frosting.
- ***For the frosting***.
- Combine brown sugar, butter and milk in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
- Cool to lukewarm.
- Stir in icing sugar and continue to stir until the right consistency to spread.
- (There should probably be a small film wanting to form on top ideally, but no real crystalization.) Spread over cooled cake.
