Ingredients:

Serving

5 semi-sweet chocolate baking
1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/8 cups cake flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup softened butter
2 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar (i've used light and dark , so whatever you happen to have on hand is fine)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup dairy sour cream
1 cup boiling water

Directions:

Melt chocolate in a double boiler over hot (not boiling) water, stirring occasionally until melted; set aside to cool.
Grease two 9 by 1 1/2 inch layer cake pans and flour with unsweetened cocoa (so the cakes don't look white after all that flour); tap out excess cocoa.
Sift flour (cake and all-purpose), baking soda, and salt onto wax paper. Preheat oven to moderate (350).
Beat butter, sugar, and eggs in a large bowl with electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and cooled chocolate.
Stir in dry ingredients, alternating with sour cream, beating well with a spoon, until smooth. Stir in water. (Batter will be thin) Pour into prepared pans.
Bake in preheated moderate oven (350) for 35 minutes, or until centers spring back when light pressed with fingertip. Cool in racks 10 minutes; turn out on wire racks;cool completely.
Frost and fill with favorite frosting and pig out :D.
