2 1/2 sq. chocolate
1 c. water

Boil together until thick (about 3 minutes) stirring it all the time. Remove from heat and let it cool while you mix the remaining ingredients. 1/2 c. butter 2 eggs 2 1/2 c. cake flour 2 level tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. buttermilk

Mix the sugar, butter, eggs, salt and vanilla together. Beat one minute and add chocolate mixture, mixing well.

Sift the cake flour and soda together. Add it alternately with the buttermilk to the other ingredients, beating 1/2 minute after each addition. Bake 25 to 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. This makes two very large layers or 9x13 inch loaf cake.

FILLING FOR LAYER CAKE:

1 tsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cream
3 egg yolks or 2 whole eggs
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 c. raisins
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Mix the cornstarch, sugar, cream and egg yolks together; add raisins and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick. Cool 3 minutes, add chopped nuts and spread between layers. Then frost the cake with fudge frosting or seven minute frosting.
