Printable Recipe

2/3 cup butter
4 (1-oz) squares unsweetened chocolate
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt

Melt the butter and chocolate in a saucepan and set aside to cool. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until well blended and thick. Beat in the cooled chocolate and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined. Spread in a greased 9 x 13" pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 - 35 minutes, or until set in the center and browned around the edges. Cool completely on a wire rack. Frost.

Frosting
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 cups powdered sugar

Half & Half - enough added until the right consistency

Mix together until smooth

I store these in the refrigerator.
