List of Ingredients




1/2 cup semisweet chocolate morsels
3/4 cup boiling water
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1-3/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2-1/4 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup buttermilk

Recipe



In a small saucepan, add chocolate morsels to boiling water; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted. Cool.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 3 8-inch cake pans with non-stick vegetable spray.

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy; beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Pour into prepared cake pans.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely on a wire rack.

1 cup milk
2 pounds confectioners’ sugar
