Sour Cream Chocolate Layer Cake

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

Title: Sour Cream Chocolate Layer Cake
Categories: Cheesecakes, Chocolate
Yield: 12 servings

2 c Flour; unbleached; sifted
2 c Sugar
1 1/4 ts Baking soda
1/2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Vegetable shorteneing
3/4 c Sour cream
1 ts Vanilla extract
2 lg Eggs
4 oz Baking chocolate
Frosting-
1/3 c Butter or regular margarine
3 c Confectioners' sugar
1/2 c Sour cream
3 oz Baking chocolate

Sift togetehr the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda,
and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add shortening, sour
cream, vanilla, eggs, water and chocolate (melted then
cooled). Beat with an electric mixer at low speed,
scraping bowl constantly, for 1/2 minute. Increase speed to
high and beat an additional 3 minutes, scraping bowl
occasionally. Pour batter into 2 greased and waxed-paper
lined 9-inch round cake pans. Bake in a preheated 350
degree F. Oven for 35 minutes or until cake tests done.
Cool in pans on racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and
cool completely on the racks. Place one cake layer on
serving plate. Spread with Sour Cream / Chocolate Frosting.
Top with second cake layer. Frost sides and top of the
cake with the remaining Sour Cream/Chocolate Frosting.

SOUR CREAM/CHOCOLATE FROSTING: Combine the softened butter
or margarine, confectioners' sugar, and sour cream in a
mixing bowl; blend well. Add chocolate which has been
melted and cooled and vanilla. Beat until smooth. NOTE: I
have seen reference to people having trouble with their
layer cakes and how they rise. Try this little trick when
making this cake. Take the layer that has the least amount
of rise on the top and trim it to be flat with a sharp
knife. Place the trimmed side down (layer should be upside
down). Then frost between layers and place the other layer
on right side up and finished frosting. It will give the
illusion of having a cake with only one domed layer and
will sit better on your cake plate. Also the trimmings are
great eating just plain for the cook or for the kids.
