    List of Ingredients




    MAKES: Two 9-inch cake layers; 12 to 16 servings

    1/2 cup (1/4 lb.) butter, at room temperature
    1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
    3 large eggs
    4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
    (see notes)
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup Dutch-processed unsweetened
    cocoa
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup milk
    3/4 cup sour cream

    Recipe



    1. In a bowl, with a mixer on medium speed, beat butter and brown sugar until blended. Beat in eggs. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; beat until combined.

    2. In another bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl, mix milk and sour cream.

    3. Add flour mixture and milk mixture alternately to butter mixture, about a third of each at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated (batter will be very thick). Scrape batter equally into two buttered and floured 9-inch round cake pans and spread level.

    4. Bake in a 350[degrees] regular or convection oven until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on racks in pans for 10 minutes, then invert cakes onto racks and remove pans. Cool completely before frosting.
