2 tablespoons melted butter

2 eggs, well beaten

2 teaspoons baking soda

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two, 8-inch round layer cake pan or a 13x9-inch oblong pan.

Mix the sugar, flour, cocoa and the salt. Add the sour cream, melted butter and the eggs; beat until it’s smooth. Add the baking soda which has been dissolved in the boiling water; mix well.
