Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp red food coloring, optional
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1-1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (8 oz) sour cream
  • caramel frosting:
  • 2 cups packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 15 pecan halves

Directions:

  1. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate in water. Stir in food coloring if desired. Remove from the heat; cool completely. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Add cooled chocolate mixture; beat on medium speed for 1 minute.
  2. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
  3. For frosting, combine the brown sugar, milk, butter and salt in a large heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; cool to lukewarm. Transfer to a small bowl; beat in confectioners' sugar, cream and vanilla until mixture achieves spreading consistency. Frost cake. Garnish with pecans. Yield: 15 servings.
