Feathery Fudge Cake Recipe

2/3 cup soft butter or margarine

1+3/4 cups sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2+1/2 oz. squares of unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled

2+1/2 cups sifted cake flour

1+1/4 teaspoons baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1+1/4 cups ice water


Preheat oven to 350*. Grease and flour two, 9” round cake pans. Cream together the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla for 5 minutes at high speed on mixer until fluffy. Scrape the bowl occasionally. Or, you can beat by hand for 5 minutes. Blend in the chocolate. Sift the flour with the baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with the ice water; beat after each addition. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans and then turn out onto racks to finish cooling. Cool completely before frosting.
