Magleby's Chocolate Cake Recipe

Magleby's Chocolate Cake Recipe

1 cup butter
1 cup BOILING water
5 Tbsp. Heaping Cocoa
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. Baking Soda (Dissolved in a little water)
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 cup Sour Cream

Mix in butter, water, and cocoa together, then add the dry ingredients.  Mix the eggs, soda, and vanilla in a separate bowl and add to the mixture.  Lastly, gently mix in the sour cream.  Do not overmix.  Bake in two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans (buttered and floured) for 50 minutes at 325 degrees.  Remove from pans and chill when they are baked through.  (Maglbey's freezes theirs.)  Cut the edges off and frost the cake.
