Sour Cream Chocolate Cake - May Danielson

Bring to a boil and cool:

1 ½ squares unsweetened chocolate
½ cup water

In mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs. Add 1 cup sugar, ½ cup sour cream and 1 scant tsp. soda dissolved in sour cream. Sift together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp. baking powder and a pinch of salt. In large bowl alternately add egg mixture and dry ingredients. Mix well after each addition. Add 1 tsp. vanilla. Add chocolate paste and beat thoroughly. Red food coloring may be added at this point. Bake for 30 minutes at 325-350 degrees.

Aunt May wrote that this was a small rich cake. She didn’t specify the size of baking pan.
