Pat's Sour Cream Chocolate Cake

Pat's Sour Cream Chocolate Cake

-tried and true from my dear friend in CoMO, Pat Devine, who never, ever, ever made anything I didn't love. I ate a lot of meals with the Devines and attended a ton of birthday parties for their 5 children over the years we were neighbors...lucky me!

In small saucepan, melt

• 1 stick butter
• 4 squares unsweetened chocolate
• 1 c. water

Add above mixture to:

• 2 c. sugar
• 2 c. flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 c. sour cream (I use light)
• 2 t. vanilla

Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes. This works as a 9x13, or a double 9" layer cake. Cupcakes would be outstanding, too. Frost with your favorite frosting. This is a great, dense cake that keeps for days and makes the perfect birthday cake.
