1 c. flour
1 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. butter
2 squares chocolate
1 egg
1/4 c. sour cream
1 tsp. baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. boiling water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour the boiling water over the chocolate. Cream softened butter and sugar. Add the melted chocolate and the sour cream; mix well. Sift the flour and baking soda together, then add to the butter, chocolate mixture. Add the egg and beat 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and the salt. Bake in a greased and floured 8" square pan. (Batter will be very thin.) Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Serves 9.

Frost with butter cream or whipped cream. This is a tender cake and is best left in pan until served.
